PECOTA Standings from Baseball Prospectus
www.baseballprospectus.com
I think the Benintendi acquisition moves us from 0.6% to 0.9% chance of winning the division.PECOTA isn't a betting line, but with the weird lack of minor league data, but I feel pretty good about the Royals beating 71 wins. I was feeling 75 which was below fangraphs 78 prior to the Benintendi trade.
Thinking the Royals will be competitive, but not a serious threat for the playoffs.
PECOTA has had some weird projections I just don't get even with an ultra-conservative mindset.I think the Red Sox can score more than 752 runs even after trading Benintendi, though they're also probably going to give up more than 765. I could see them hitting .500, but I don't think the playoffs are realistic.
Still baffled by the White Sox and Braves projections.

This one seems pretty solid
I could see both the Twins and White Sox with over 90 wins -- the AL Central is going to be a 2-team race, I think. The Indians will still have pitching, but their offense will be much less productive without Lindor. You don't let someone like him go and expect to have a great offensive season. The Royals and Tigers will be better, but not enough.
