So... how many games will the Sox win this year?

84

I really wanted to be optimistic and vote for "85-89", but I am just not so sure how the Pitching is going to go this year.

there is unquestionably some real talent on this team but they are in a tough division. I think that will break .500 by a few games. I am also concerned about the pitching. Just sign Montgomery already.

Unless injuries really hit... I think we'll be somewhere in the 80s for wins and hopefully a WC spot. The AL East isn't quite as intimidating as it's being made out to be... the Orioles are incredibly good though and I'd be surprised if they don't easily win the division.

I went totally optimistic and went 85-89 but realistically, if they get 80 wins this year, it will be a successful season for them considering what we have (if things stay as they are now)

i went 70-74. i think bailey is the biggest acquisition they made and he's going to make biggest difference. buti just can't deny that fact there are 162*9 innings to pitch and without giolito, there's no clearcut way to get to the many innings without a redux of the cosntant stream of nobodies coming to fill in for spot starts and bullpen games. Maybe Bailey can turn your houcks and whitlocks into 7 inning guys. if he does, they'll do well.

The biggest immediate worry is that they start with a west coast road trip... we never seem to do all that well out there even when we've been great. Don't want to be going into that home opener against the Os already sitting at 3-7 or something...

I picked the 85-89 range.

I hope we get to see more of the Y*nkee$ and Red Sox Rivalry in Playoffs.

Looks like the Good Guys will fall a little shy of my predicted "84 Wins"...

Don't you feel a little silly now, young man?! The Good Guys have easily crushed the 74 Wins mark!

I picked 85-89 being totally optimistic.
Frankly, they did better than I originally really thought they would, especially given all the injuries and revolving doors at the beginning of the season.

it's been a season of exceeding expectations, for sure

Thank you. I picked 85 - 89.

Thank you. I picked 85 - 89.

You and I were being very optimistic!
I picked that too but really didn’t expect it

Thank you. I picked 85 - 89.

So did I.
