1st - White Sox (98-64)
*In my opinion the White Sox are undoubtedly the BEST team in Baseball. The starting rotation is stellar. The bullpen is solid. And much like the Jays, the Lineup is STACKED. I have them winning the World Series this year. OVER 91.5
2nd - Tigers (85-77)
*This is my Dark-horse team of the year. I really like this Tigers team… I love their manager and their rotation should be good this year with E-Rod, Skubal, and Mize. They were MUCH better in the 2nd half last year. This year they added Tucker Barnhart and Baez, two really good players. They got some decent bats in the lineup with some stellar young talent coming up this year, namely Torkelson and Greene. Don’t be shocked if they make the playoffs. OVER 78.5
3rd - Royals (78-84)
*A lot of people have Kansas City in last this year, but I don’t. I actually think the Royals will be competitive. Their lineup looks pretty damn good if you ask me. Perez, Merrifield, Lopez, Benintendi, and the highly acclaimed Bobby Witt Jr should be a pretty good 1-5 comparatively speaking. The young rotation should be better with another year under their belt, and the additions of Greinke and Garrett are also promising. OVER 75.5
4th - Twins (76-86)
The Twins are a hard team to figure out. I’ve gone back and forth on this team possibly winning 80 games, but after thinking it through, i just see too many holes and guys who are injury prone. I love Buxton (when he’s healthy), but I don’t love the rotation, and the rest of the offense is gonna struggle to put up runs consistently. OVER 75.5
5th - Indians (73-89)
I like the rotation as long as they stay healthy, but the question is, are the Indians buyers or sellers? Looks like sellers to me, so who knows if Bieber stays, and Ramirez is most likely gone as well. I just don’t know where all of their runs are gonna come from this year. I think Cleveland will get some decent starting pitching, but they’ll be offensively challenged which will limit their wins. UNDER 76.5
