I went 87-89. I think this rotation will be the best O's rotation since 2014.

IMO, this season is reminiscent of 2 years ago.  I see us in contention for a wild card.  Although I do think the rotation going into this season is better than what we had in 2016.  

 

I'll have what you guys are having.

There was orange snow in Eastern Europe this week.   That has to mean something, right?

Don't eat the yellow snow.

Everything falls exactly and unforeseeably right, major injuries strike Yankees AND Red Sox pitching, Manny wins AL MVP, Dylan Bundy runnerup in CYA ...94 wins and AL East division.

Pessimist.

[Frobby]

I went with 81-83.    I expect some bounceback, but I don’t think either their offense or their bullpen will be as good as in 2016.    There’s a wide range of possible outcomes for this team.

If everything falls exactly and unforeseeably right, if major injuries strike BOTH the Yankees' AND the Red Sox' pitching, if Machado wins the AL MVP award, and if Dylan Bundy is the runner-up for the AL Cy young award ......... 94 wins, and the AL East division.

I'm the same way, sometimes.

I had Loyola-Chicago ONLY making it to the Elite Eight in my bracket in the NCAA tournament ........ they have already made the Final Four, and they are not necessarily done yet.

It's strange how we often underestimate teams and/or players in sports.

I voted 84-86 wins, though I can optimistically envision 90 wins and pessimistically envision 75 wins.  I'm just ready for some real baseball!!

[25 Nuggets]

I had them at 81-81 before the Cobb signing, then added five wins... so 86-76.

 

I realize this may be optimistic.  But there are a decent number of teams in the AL that I think the Orioles are better than.  I've got them 3rd in the AL East and right in the thick of the 2nd Wild Card hunt, but not that close to Boston or New York.

Somehow somebody inserted "ifs" in my prediction.  No "ifs"...these are predictions, baby!!      They be HAPPENING!   This year!   Right now!  

[OriolesMagic83]

I went with 78-80 wins.  I think overall the team is better, but one injury to the starting rotation could put the team in a bad position.  That's even discounting if Tillman is a major league starter anymore.  I believe the offense will be feast or famine and score 10 runs multiple times in a short stretch, followed by being held to 2 runs or less multiple times.  I'm expecting an MVP year from Manny.  The Yankees and Red Sox are just too good for the O's to compete in the AL East. 

[sportsfan8703]

88-74. WC spot. 

-Sisco finishes top 3 in ROY. Is hitting leading sooner than later  

-Manny finishes top 5 in MVP. 

-All stars- Manny, Schoop, AJ, Brach and Bundy/Gausman 

-Hunter Harvey is going to be hard to keep down in the minors. 

[El Gordo]

Key's are Davis having a bounce back to career average or better and Tillman doing the same. The OF defense will still be poor ,he offense even with out Davis and Trumbo should be good, the pen won't be as strong until Britton returns healthy.  SP will be surprisingly better. 87-89.
