I said 85 first and then I bumped it up to 90.

Me knowing this board if I do get it right I know I wont get credit because some will **** and say I made two picks but I will stick at 90.

I dont know if we're world series contenders but I do believe we'll be pretty strong.

I've been pessimistic the last two years but this year I'm signing up for the koolaid.  I say everything comes together just right and the Cubs win 91 games.
Looks like I won't be the highest this year.  I predict 90 wins.

HELLO!!!  Mine still stands!


101.  Book it.

I'm watching MLB Network's preview/prediction show.  Like a lot of the experts I've seen or read since Friday, I think they like the Marlins far too much.  The three people on the show (DeRosa, Pleasac, and the third host) were unanimous in selecting them as a wild card, but I'm just not seeing it.  Their outfield is right there with the Pirates as the best in MLB.  But their pitching is mediocre (especially the rotation), and their infield is pretty weak. 

I feel like everyone is projecting them assuming three things: (1) they're getting close to peak Latos and Haren (not declining, injury-prone Latos and barely-hanging-on Haren); (2) Gordon and (to a lesser extent) Morse are as valuable in real life as they are in fantasy, and (3) Fernandez will be 100% as soon as he comes off the DL.  The only reason not to completely dismiss the Marlins is because they get to beat up on the Braves and Phillies all year.

I'm going to be optimistic and say they'll be on the fringe of the wild card contention hunt well into the second half but fade down the stretch and end up with 83 wins.

88 wins.  Wainwright has arm problems all year and Molina shows his age.  In Pittsburgh, the loss of Martin hurts them more than expected--Liriano is especially impacted.  Cubs win the division with the Pirates and Cardinals taking the two wild cards.

Jon Lester has just delivered the first pitch of the season (a called strike on Matt Carpenter) so any further predictions should not be counted in this year's contest.
