Boston Red Sox
2019 win total over/under: 95.5
2018 win complete: 108
The reigning World Series champs ran roughshod on the remainder of the American League this past year and once again at the World Series within their five-game triumph over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Free agent nearer Craig Kimbrel isn’t expected back, but Boston largely brings back an identical team, commerce deadline additions included, to the one that basically went wire-to-wire since the best team in baseball 2018. I don’t find a 13-win decline for the champs, so give me the above.
Prediction: RED SOX — OVER 95.5 (-125)

New York Yankees
2019 win complete over/under: 95.5
2018 win complete: 100
The Yankees’ over/under win total is a whole lot more aligned to last year’s success, but this time I expect the Yankees to give the Red Sox a much stiffer streak for AL East supremacy.
They included James Paxton as a co-ace behind Luis Severino and they re-upped deadline acquisition J.A. Happ following an 11-start run of success in the Yankees’ rotation.
All of a sudden, the Yankees have a fearful starting rotation, a thunderous lineup, and a lights-out bullpen. I don’t have any difficulties with the above here.
Prediction: YANKEES — OVER 95.5 (-125)

Toronto Blue Jays
2019 win total over/under: 76.5
2018 win total: 73
The Blue Jays suffered an exceedingly unsatisfactory season in 2018, but they ought to enjoy far better fortunes in 2019, at least from a health standpoint.
The two Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez — Toronto’s top two pitchers — missed considerable time this past year and were extremely unproductive while on the bracket as a result. With these two expected to enjoy healthy seasons, the Blue Jays will recover some wins dropped from last season.
Add in the inevitable promotion of top prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. along with bats sporting powerful potential along with the Blue Jays should be able to get much closer to the .500 mark.
Prediction: BLUE JAYS — OVER 76.5 (+115)

Tampa Bay Rays
2019 win complete over/under: 84.5
2018 win total: 90
The Rays were one of the greatest surprises in baseball last season when they won 90 games while battling the titanic Red Sox and Yankees in the AL East all season long.
I really don’t expect quite the same level of success this time around for a group that only had three valid members to their turning. Their”opener” strategy was mostly successful, but Kevin Cash better hope his previously unknown relief corps can replicate their success in last season.
The Rays are constantly sneaky; nevertheless, I think they fall nearer to the .500 mark this season around.
