We had an actual pennant race for most of last year, too

Shouldn’t be much different for the most part.

Now at the very end of the season…

This is why I steer clear of GDTs for the most part.

Probably a bit high on the Yankees, but since CAIRO was created to make the Yankees look better than they are that stands to reason.

TAM>BOS

And only by 1/2 a game….late season comeback?

That's an impressive runs allowed projection for TX

considering their home park. It actually makes the Rangers’ pitching look about as good as the Angels (caveat: zero math was done to support this blind assertion).

Some good races this year

The AL East, of course, TX and LAA, then the NL East should be much tighter this year, with FLA and WASH making strides. The Brewers look good in the NL Central to me, but those three teams look close.

I think that Cleveland projection looks optimistic.

Houston at .3% odds of making the playoffs.

I would say that god must hate them but at those odds I’m not sure there’s much he can do to help them. I should hate those guys since my original baseball love is the Braves and they always came up big against the them in the early 2000’s but I still have a soft spot for the Stros. That’ll die next year I guess.

When do the playoffs start?

LAA doesn’t make the playoffs is these projections hold true

1 game out either way

Would TB and BOS have a 1 game playoff to see who is the #1 WC? ;)

yuuup

Didn’t they also do away with the same division rule? So NY would play winner of the play in game and Det would be going to Texas.

Why even play the season at this point?

CAIRO had the Rangers going 89-73 with a run differential of 746/673 in 2011...they seem to have a handle on our pitchers

but our offense must have shocked the hell out of them.

And Young and probably Kinsler

I’m guessing they didn’t have those three doing what they did

They have our pitchers giving up 697 runs this year (20 more than they actually allowed).

They’re fucked up with the Angels…they gave up 633 runs last year but project 653 runs allowed in 2012.

CJ is taking the 33 starts that Chatwood, Richards and Matt Palmer made last year…that 633 runs allowed should come down.

Weaver had a ridiculous year last year

but it’s not sustainable. He always performs his peripherals, but nobody can keep it going with that great a discrepancy.

20 more runs over 162 games is fucked up?

Really?

You're forgetting about Weaver, Haren and Santana regressing

Yeah, they replace some bad starts with Wilson, but it’s also likely they won’t get the same type of pitching they got out of those three last year.

by SGinATL on Feb 8, 2012 3:07 PM CST up reply actions  

I doubt Haren regresses much

The other two should
