Update: Updated Baltimore's record due to trade with Seattle. Bedard removed, Sherril added to relief staff.
Here is the first in my series of 2008 projected MLB standing using PECOTA.
I know I'm late on these, but better late than never. More work than I though. I made some minor changes to the process. First, I'm using all the projected pitchers and the projected batting lineup from the RotoTimes depthchart. I'm using all pitchers listed, and still adjusting so it equals a full season of innings.
So, I might as well start with the division that gets the most exposure from ESPN. The American League East
AL East 2008 Projected Standings
- Boston Red Sox: 95 - 67
- New York Yankees 93 - 69
- Toronto Blue Jays 86-76
- Tampa Bay Rays 84-78
- Baltimore Orioles 74-88 (Before trade: 77-85)
Nothing unexpected. Red Sox and Yankees duke it out for first. Baltimore is gonna suck. Rays improving. Below are the Runs Scored / Runs allowed.
AL East 2008 Projected Runs Scored/Allowed
- Boston 891/730
- New York 916/780
- Toronto 795/737
- Tampa 816/784
- Baltimore 750/822 (Before trade: 750/797)
