Scwab, divisional opponents can't play each other in the first round.

Come make some predictions on the Jays forum.

I didn't notice I did that, but just switch the Twins and Yanks in the ALDS and still have them meet in the CS.

On paper the Red Sox look almost unbeatable.

On the field, they should be dominate in almost every facet.

Will their rotation and bullpen stay healthy?

Will everyone in the lineup put up a consistent year as expected?

They ought to win 105 games, but somehow I don't think they will. The AL East is a beast once again.

On paper the Red Sox look almost unbeatable. Truth.

On the field, they should be dominate in almost every facet. Almost is the key word.

Will their rotation and bullpen stay healthy? Doubt it.

Will everyone in the lineup put up a consistent year as expected? Probably not.

They ought to win 105 games, but somehow I don't think they will. The AL East is a beast once again. 105 is steep considering the amount of talent in the AL as a whole, let alone the East.

Blue Jays fans do not want to know what I think of the Blue Jays this year.
