Lean towards the under on this one but it should be close. How do they respond to Lee leaving? Can their young pitchers keep growing? Can Hamilton duplicate his MVP season?

Think they close to 85 wins. Too close to call

A very tough one IMO. I love their lineup and attitude. Pitching will be a question mark. Webb does not look like he will be ready for the season opener, still trying to strengthen his arm. Colby Lewis and and CJ wilson now move up another spot in the lineup but should be solid either way. Starting pitching 3-5 will be the question. Does Holland steup given the chance? Hunter continue to pitch solid? They will be close that number.

Both Oakland and LAA will be better too.

Im a hopeful Ranger fan and i think this is a 90+ win ball club,I wouldnt touch this total though.

The rotation is a huge question mark and its not even close.

tough......they are gonna be right at that number but this one is probably one to leave alone

Starting pitching is weak IMO but thats what I thought last season and I was proven wrong. So Ill stick to my original lean but if they duplicate what they did last year on the pitching side of it (starting pitching) then I think its a sign of growth and not a fluke.

BTW I refrain from commenting on Central Division teams because of my biases because this is probably the only sport I still try and follow as a true fan as opposed to just being numb.

Tough call but leaning under
