Season Win Total under 90.5 +126 @ Pinny
Three starting pitchers and a closer eligible for more than a bit of regression, the worst defence in baseball by far and a linuep that will strike out at a higher than league average rate. (possibly much higher if Raburn gets 500 AB). The corner outfielders have never played a full season, Boesch is as streaky as a comet and Dirks is unproven.
Avila and Peralta will not be near as effective this year, Valverde is a gas can in waiting in the second half. Fister and Porcello live and die by the ground ball. That defence is going to cost those two at least three wins a piece.
I don't see much in that division that says 88-89 wins won't do the trick and only the Pale Hose look capable of that. Cleveland has the arms but no offense to speak of.
Laying a grand to win 1260.
Small play on the Chisox to win the division. $200 to win $2534.
