Predict your teams record here and why
-
AL
Texas Rangers 33-27 pitching staff is actually really solid and deep
NL
Miami Marlins 20-40 I think the Fish got better but the schedule is brutal obviously having to play the Mets, Phillies, braves, nats and now yanks, rays, Boston. Only play 2 bad teams in balty and Toronto
-
Braves: 60-0 then swept in the first round of the playoffs.

Red Sox 32-28. They can beat the Jays and Orioles easily but the Yankees and Rays will give them trouble. As much as I want them to make the playoffs they won’t this year, I just hope they re-sign Mookie
With Sale gone, no Betts, no Price, no fix to the pen, I don't think the Sox will beat the Jays at all.
Jays are much better suited, especially with Pearson on no innings count in a 60 game schedule, plus Ryu..And hate to break it to you, but there is a 0% chance Betts goes back to Boston. He always wanted out, which is why he never entertained re-signing, and Boston already has serious payroll trouble with luxury tax problems and one of the highest "dead money" situations in baseball. If anything, they're going to shed as much as possible
-
Are you telling me with 60 games left the Mariners are tied for first place ? YEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!! That's a winning season for the Mariners !!!
-
Looking at the schedule today the central is the easiest by far. I think the east and the west is the toughest. The rockies should be able to hang around .500 but the lack of pitching is going to be an issue. I think I read like 33 games in 35 days. Thats not good for a team with bad pitching. I think a longer spread out season would have been better for the rockies.

Pearson is questionable with the control and being a rookie, Ryu should be good however. I could see the Sox and Jays even

Questionable with the control?? Please tell me where you have ever read something bad about his control! Please.. I'd love to see it.
Every scouting report says he fills the zone with almost all his offerings, especially his 99-104 mph fastball and slider. His minor league stats show he absolutely throws strikes (2.4 BB/9). There is absolutely nothing indicating this is a thing.
Sure, we have yet to see the Jays blossom, so it's early to say they will overtake the Sox for the foreseeable future, but judging by young talent, and future payroll, you'd be extremely hard-pressed to find anyone outside of Boston say the Sox have a better looking future than the Jays.. Sox are a mess.. Jays have the best young nucleus in the sport along with Padres, Rays and Braves.

I've seen Pearson pitch when he was with the Canadians in single A ball and I can confirm he is a strike thrower. He's filthy or at least he was at the game I went to. I truly believe if the Jays start hot they have as good a chance of anyone of making the playoffs, they may even challenge the Rays for second behind the Yankees.

This may be true, but the Jays offense have a chance to absolutely explode at any time.
When you have Vlad, Bo, Biggio, Gurriel, Jansen as 5/9 of your order, plus Martin and Groshans coming up, you could have growing pains, or you could be the best offense in baseball. That's a huge ceiling -

Don't look past Biggio, he hit for the cycle in his rookie season plus 16 home runs . Not many players can do that in a lifetime let alone a rookie season.

What Biggio showed in his rookie season, and why everyone in the industry became high on him isn't his power (which he showed already in the minors), his versatility to play all over the field well, or his good defense at 2B..
It was his insane plate discipline and pitch recognition. He almost never swung at a pitch out of the zone, and actually led MLB in it.
A rookie who walks 73 times in only 400 AB, and never swings outside of the zone?? That is a very good thing. There isn't many better things to see from a young hitter. -

Don't look past Biggio, he hit for the cycle in his rookie season plus 16 home runs . Not many players can do that in a lifetime let alone a rookie season.
Maybe but I haven’t seen enough and he wasn’t playing amazing in the minors. The average scares me
What Biggio showed in his rookie season, and why everyone in the industry became high on him isn't his power (which he showed already in the minors), his versatility to play all over the field well, or his good defense at 2B..
It was his insane plate discipline and pitch recognition. He almost never swung at a pitch out of the zone, and actually led MLB in it.
A rookie who walks 73 times in only 400 AB, and never swings outside of the zone?? That is a very good thing. There isn't many better things to see from a young hitter.Like I said if he can hit for a high average I will believe in him but it was only 1 year of a prospect I wasn’t so high on and had a low average. He did show me that he has discipline but I believe in Vlad and Bo more than Cavan

Red Sox 32-28. They can beat the Jays and Orioles easily but the Yankees and Rays will give them trouble. As much as I want them to make the playoffs they won’t this year, I just hope they re-sign Mookie
With Sale gone, no Betts, no Price, no fix to the pen, I don't think the Sox will beat the Jays at all.
Jays are much better suited, especially with Pearson on no innings count in a 60 game schedule, plus Ryu..And hate to break it to you, but there is a 0% chance Betts goes back to Boston. He always wanted out, which is why he never entertained re-signing, and Boston already has serious payroll trouble with luxury tax problems and one of the highest "dead money" situations in baseball. If anything, they're going to shed as much as possible
Pearson is questionable with the control and being a rookie, Ryu should be good however. I could see the Sox and Jays even
Questionable with the control?? Please tell me where you have ever read something bad about his control! Please.. I'd love to see it.
Every scouting report says he fills the zone with almost all his offerings, especially his 99-104 mph fastball and slider. His minor league stats show he absolutely throws strikes (2.4 BB/9). There is absolutely nothing indicating this is a thing.
Sure, we have yet to see the Jays blossom, so it's early to say they will overtake the Sox for the foreseeable future, but judging by young talent, and future payroll, you'd be extremely hard-pressed to find anyone outside of Boston say the Sox have a better looking future than the Jays.. Sox are a mess.. Jays have the best young nucleus in the sport along with Padres, Rays and Braves.
Jays will be better in the future but this year I think it is even. Sox have a better offense and Jays have better pitching
This may be true, but the Jays offense have a chance to absolutely explode at any time.
When you have Vlad, Bo, Biggio, Gurriel, Jansen as 5/9 of your order, plus Martin and Groshans coming up, you could have growing pains, or you could be the best offense in baseball. That's a huge ceilingI don’t believe in Biggio yet. Vlad may break out and Bo will be a stud. But we have JD, Devers, the x-man, Vazquez (who did amazing last year), and Benny who might have a bounce back season. Your guys have potential but ours have shown their potential

Average means nothing when your OBP is near .400.. it's 2020 dude... Not 1986.. nobody cares about AVG anymore.
And yes, so do I.. Cavan wasn't supposed to be a core piece. He's just turning into one.
Vlad and Bo are supposed to be the superstars of course.
