Vegas Projected Win Totals
74.5Wins
I predict for 83+ Wins
3rd place in the AL East
Storylines to Follow
Whos going to play in the OF:For sure Gurriel, Hernandez, Grichuk
Then it comes down to a battle between Derek Fisher, Anthony Alford, Billy McKinney, and Jonathan Davis
Bold Prediction:
This team sneaks in and wins an AL wildcard
Fact Check
For many baseball fans, there is simply nothing better than eating a hot dog while enjoying a big game. The Rogers Centre apparently sells enough hot dogs each year to cover, if they were somehow all lined up, the distance of 3,241 stolen bases.

Phillip Preifer(P) Cristian Pache(OF)-should see at some point in 2020 #1 prospect
William Contreras(C)- any injuries at the position Contreras gets the first call
Tucker Davidson(P)-should open up in minors possibly will see him in late 2020
Fantasy Impact Players
Ronal Acuna(OF), Ozzie Albies(2B), Freddie Freeman(1B), Marcell Ozuna(OF) Nick Markakis(OF), Dansby Swanson(SS), Mike Soroka(P)
Vegas Projected Win Totals
90.5- Projected to win the division
I would personally take the over on this team at 92+ Wins
I project this team to win at least 92 games if not more and win the division and we will see after how far they get into the playoffs.
I love Acuna fI think he is one the most exciting players in the MLB. He wants a 50HR/50SB season if anyone has the talent to so its him and I think it will happen if not at least a 40HR/40SB
Storylines to Follow
Felix or Sean Newcomb for the 5th starter role
Camargo or Riley at 3B
Anderson and Wright could compete for the 5th starter role
Christian Pache and Drew Waters both could be worth a shot in 2020 with Ozuna on a 1-year deal
Bold Prediction
Acuna gets at 40/40 season and Albies gets a 20/20 season AND this team goes to the NL Championship and this team gets Kris Bryant in 2020
Fact Check
The Braves delivered the first world championship for Atlanta in 1995 and entered the record books as the first franchise to win the World Series in three different cities
