Exactly...I'm saying holy shite the Yankees are loaded.

They are setting the bar at 102 in Vegas and they have to play the Red Sox the Rays and the Blue Jays each 18 times.

That's pretty sick. That's literally a third of their entire schedule.

If the red sox do what's looking very likely, that's gonna be a weak division with only 5he rays as the other interesting team

You dont like the Blue Jays to be an interesting team? That's a lot of young talent on that roster

Blue Jays are a young improving team with an improved rotation

Red Sox are still a good team without Betts and Price

Rays will contend for a Wild Card

Baltimore sucks

Jays should be interesting, I could see them being sneaky competitive with 18 games against Baltimore and Boston taking a step back. Maybe high 70s low 80s wins

I think it will be (assuming Betts is dealt)

NYY 100-105 wins
Tampa 90-95
Boston 80-85
Toronto 75-80
Baltimore 55ish

I'm not really convinced on this. That pitching looks like a mess imo

Agree 100%. They definitely aren't going to be a door mat like the Orioles.

Baltimore sucks arse

All depends on Sale

But healthy Sale, Rodriguez, Evoldi, plus Perez is a decent 4 and the offense still has Moreland, Devers, Boegarts, JBJ, Beninetendi, Martinez, Vasquez, etc

You could make some money with that prediction. They have a win total set at 88.5

And they will have to get MLB level talent in return from the Dodgers for Betts.

Or near MLB talent who could contribute this year, plus a full year from Chavis with a better bullpen

Boston is bound to get some solid contributors back from LA for this year. Verdugo, Gonsolin both guys who’ve been rumored and can contribute right away and could be really good. Then if they take Pollock back he could bounce back, not just an empty uniform I do kinda like grabbing under that right now though

Yep you said it above me

I get that. But the Dodgers will have to give up a lot to get him. And there’s no guarantee he will sign.

Disagree, doesn't sound as like any top 5 prospects going back

Red Sox won 84 games last season, didn't do a thing to improve, and figure to be worse this season. I guess Sale could get back to form, but I would bet against that too. That's a big under 88.5 for me. And if they lose Betts, it looks like under .500, with a chance at a free-fall downward.
The Yankees could well exceed the 102 because they are good and the division is weak. (below .500 division last season). West was much better last season, and should be even better this season.
I don't see many other reversal of form (downward) teams. The most likely are the Brewers, Indians and maybe the Cubs.
