84.5 wins? A prediction contest.
Via Batter's Box Interactive, here's the over/under for wins by team this season. I sorted them by division, because I find it easier to assess that way:
AL East:
Boston 93.5
NY Yankees 93.5
Toronto 85.5
Tampa Bay 73.5
Baltimore 65.5
AL Central:
Detroit 93.5
Cleveland 88.5
Chicago 79.5
Minnesota 72.5
Kansas City 71.5
AL West:
LA Angels 91.5
Seattle 86.5
Texas 74.5
Oakland 73.5
NL East:
NY Mets 93.5
Philadelphia 87.5
Atlanta 84.5
Washington 70.5
Florida 68.5
NL Central:
Chicago 87.5
Milwaukee 84.5
Cincinnati 79.5
St. Louis 78.5
Houston 72.5
Pittsburgh 68.5
NL West:
LA Dodgers 87.5
Arizona 86.5
San Diego 84.5
Colorado 82.5
San Francisco 71.5
Now, the contest: Pick 5 overrated, and 5 underrated teams, and rank them. If your most overrated team doesn't meet their expectations, you get 5 points. If your second best team fails, 4 points, etc. At the end of the season we'll tally up the points and declare a winner. For a tiebreaker, predict the Brewers' win total.
Here are my teams:
Overrated:
1. Chicago (AL)
2. St. Louis
3. San Francisco
4. Toronto
5. NY Yankees
Underrated:
1. Texas
2. Tampa Bay
3. Minnesota
4. Oakland
5. Houston
Brewers win total: 86.
