Key to this team is Josh Beckett. If he can pitch like an ace this team wins 100.

Wouldn't touch this one because this team does have the ability to go over, but they need Beckett and Lackey to pitch better.

I thought they would go over and win the division last year and they didnt come close.

Well this year they are healthy and made 2 huge additions on offense and supposedly Beckett feels great with their biggest loss being Victor but offense isnt a concern here at all.

I agree with Jack if Beckett has a solid year 100 should be no problem but even then picking over 95 is tough.

Not touching this because I think that they could go over if the team stays healthy, and after last season, they are due for some good luck on injuries. I just can't pull the trigger on a team needing to get nr 100 wins for me to be comfortable enough to put money on them.

I believe the Sox go over the total. The additions this season and the regular players coming back from injuries should help them win the East. One of my concerns is Salty at catcher. He's been working with Tuck this offseason, so hopefully it pays off. Like everyone said, Beckett needs to have a great year. At this point in his career, I don't mind him being the #2-3 on the staff. I just can't wait for JD Drew to be gone after this year!!
