I can't see three AL East teams winning 90 games. On paper the three of them look good enough, but in reality that will be very difficult.

Not with the Jays and O's having that good of a record.

I don't expect the Jays to finish above .500.... and wouldn't be surprised if the the O's are ahead of them.

The Red Sox having a better offense than the Yankees?

Not likely.

I said it in another thread and I'll say it again.

The Jays and O's will likely lose close to 100 games and whichever one comes in last, will be the best 100 loss team in the history of baseball.

They're out of their freaking minds if they think the Marlins will lose 89 games. The Marlins have a very good and potentially great starting rotation. That along with Hanley, Uggla, Hermida, Cantu, and Maybin will be a powerful lineup. All (with the exception of Maybin) had 20+ HR's.

I too don't see the Marlins being the doormat in that division either.

The Nationals are way worse than them.
