Division winners
Posted: Thu Oct 04, 2007 11:50 am
Going back to last Spring the content panel picked division winners. I had the Angels, Cubs, Phillies, Padres, Indians, Yankees. 4 out of 6 and the other 2 close. Anybody do better?
My pre-season spreadsheet where I project wins based on cumulative starter stats had the following:
AL East - Yankees, Red Sox
AL Central - Indians
AL West - Angels
NL East - Mets, Braves
NL Central - Cubs
NL West - Padres
4 for 4 in the AL. Only 1 for 4 in the NL, but real close to hitting 3 of 4 there.
Some notables ...
Performed as expected (+/- 2 games):
Pirates (pred 68 wins)
Blue Jays (84)
Rangers (75)
Mets (90)
Brewers (81)
Padres (89)
Biggest over-achievers:
Colorado +15 games
Arizona +14 games
Biggest disappointments:
White Sox -13 games
Florida -12
D Rays -11
