Right now I'm in for 105. But of course I haven't seen them play a game yet.

Griff's in for 105! :o

I'll take 95.

You?

162! No seriously I'm guessing in the 95 (+/- 3) range.

It's a very tough division. But I think this can and should be a very good team. I'll say 93. I think they play to their potential.

And wow, I've been doing a prediction on the Jays for like a decade on Jays sites online and I don't think I've ever even gone above 86 (the average was probably around the .500 mark). So that's different.

I'm not going to get ahead of myself, but I'm going to still try to be optimistic. 88-92.

Im guessing they pull off a Gretzky (99), provided the team stays relatively healthy of course.

With so many teams being quite good, I foresee a fair bit of parity. I'm guessing things stay relatively close all year and a total in the low 90's is enough to win it. This means that division races will be exciting this year.

I'm going to predict the BJs make the post season, but maybe from a wildcard and maybe from leading the division.

92 generally gets you in, so I'll say 94.

I think we'll get around 96 wins this year. That would probably put us first in the AL East.

I will homerishly say high-90's and a pennant.

I think its going to be in the lower 90s like 92-93 because we have so many variables that we cannot account for like how well Johnson and Romero will pitch and whether Bautista will bounce back from his surgery. Also you should probably add a poll, something like <90, 90-91, 92-93, 94-95, 95+ etc

I say under 90 but the more competitive division means we still win it with around there.

Think it'll be around 90-92. If EVERYTHING goes right this is a 95-100 win team, but the odds are at least a few of the things that could go wrong (injuries, Melky not being the same, EE not having quite as good of a year, Colby, Ricky and JPA not improving on last year, Lawrie not making a leap) will go wrong. But even then, this team should be good enough for 90 wins.

I'm at a fairly optimistic 93-95.

I'll say 94 :P
