Now we're talking my sport.

I'm a KC Royals fan, we are much improved and should win 74 plus games.
I love left-handed pitchers and Cole Ragans is going to be a bona-fide stud.
I'm comfortable with the Will Smith addition as the closer.

He has that 'can't miss' label on him which bothers me though, because believe me, I've seen can't miss kids fail miserably.
Bobby Witt is already a superstar.

My 'sleeper' is the Blue Jays, a little banged up in the bullpen, but checks all my other boxes.
I also like Baltimore, but they aren't sneaking up on anybody.

AL East is now Bizzaro World.
What's up is now down, and what was down is now up.
For years and years, it used to be Boston and New York, now it's the former whipping boys, Blue Jays and Orioles are now up

Took the yanks their due to win

**SBR Andy** · 03-27-24, 08:15 AM

Took a flyer with a bonus bet on Nathan Eovoldi AL Cy Young +4000 at DK.

No real runaway favorite for the award in the AL. Eovaldi carried the Rangers' rotation through the playoffs last year and with Scherzer and DeGrom out at least a few months, he will be the #1 on a staff that will get a lot of run support.

**Igor_1965** · 03-27-24, 08:24 AM

Does DK ever give freeplays?

+4000 sounds a little rich to risk actual money, especially tying it up for a long time

**SBR Andy** · 03-27-24, 08:27 AM

They have an opening day bonus bet, should be available to most players. The amount will likely vary - I got $10 so was putting it on a long shot lol

They don't give anything. They suspend lines and offer crap cashouts if any at all. No need to play there except for spreads because FD does everything better except the spreads and lack of soccer.

Feel like the Yankees are way overhyped...again

Yeah they added Soto but lost a lot of pitching depth in that trade...

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 03-27-24, 09:16 AM

Stringer, props on a good thread.

IMHO, ROY is one of the toughest markets to predict. Baseball is not an easy game. How does the young player adjust to the daily rigors of the game?

Baseball is a game of study/adjustments. Need to do that well.

Lastly, you never quite know if a rook is going to get sent down or get called up. Sometimes, the ROY comes from way off the radar.

Jake, do you think the Yanks go Under their O/U wins most years? Would make sense. They're under the spotlight every year.

Chucky, I'd go under...I do not like their starting pitching(Cole out for at least 1-2 months?) or depth.

Offensively, Judge and Soto will do their thing but the rest of their lineup is not that good and that has played out the past few years.

I fail to see how adding Soto and losing a ton of quality pitching is going to erase all the issues they have had the past few years.

Not to mention the Al East is stacked now...they might only finish ahead of the Red sox IMHO

**lakerboy** · 03-27-24, 09:58 AM

I also like the Reds+325 to win the central.

**stevenash** · 03-28-24, 09:20 AM

I like the chalk to win AL ROTY Wyatt Langford.
KC to win more than 73.5 games as well.

Here's an interesting tidbit.

*edit*
413 - Request Entity Too Large

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 05-23-24, 12:13 PM

Looks like I was dead wrong about the Yankees.

They are getting big contributions from a lot of question marks coming into the season...Gil, Schmidt, Rodon, Cortes, Weaver, Stanton, Volpe...
