Even though I went to spring training, didn't see Cutch, JHay, Polanco, Marte, Cole, Watson, Cervelli, so there are still a lot of question marks in my head. I'll go 88-73 (1 rainout not made up vs. the Marlins) and 721 runs. I also predict we don't see Kang at all and that Tyler Glasnow pitches as many innings as Taillon did last year, with everything higher stat wise (ERA, hits, k, bb).

Agreed on the bounce back. Well, I'm hoping on a bounce back.

729 runs

84-78. 724 runs scored.

Scoring goes down some as replacing Kang in the middle of the lineup will be difficult. Cutch will rebound some and Polanco and Cervelli should improve to make up a bit of the difference.

Despite the lower scoring, the SP will improve enough to make up the difference. It will also help the BP by not putting as much pressure on it.

78-84 699 runs

Whatever gains are made with improved starting pitching will be neutralized by the 52 HR and 160 RBI lost by not having Joyce, Rodriguez and Kang. One step forward. One step back.
