Vegas Projected Win Total
85.5 Wins
I am projecting this team to hit the under on the wins due to poor starting pitching outside of Sale and Rodriguez, I think they still have plenty of offense but ultimately I think they will be an 82Win team and finish barely above.500
Storylines to Follow
Playing time for all 3 1B- Moreland, Michael Chavis and Bobby Dalbec(#2 prospect)
Bold Predictions
The Redsox trade JD Martinez, Bradly JR, Workman and anyone else that can fetch them a high-level prospect or two. I mean if they traded Betts what stops them from everyone else
Fact Check
The Red Sox, and more so Fenway Park, are famous for the massive, intimidating wall in left field — the Green Monster. Over the years, batters have attempted to hit home runs over the wall. The many missed attempts have left literally thousands of dents in the wall. According to a Boston Globe estimate, there are at least 211,000, with some spots being hit up to six times.
The Green Monster is an iconic Boston landmark and actually wasn’t painted green until 1947. Standing at over 37 feet tall and stretching 231 feet wide, the origins of the wall may surprise you. It was designed to keep spectators from the street, who did not pay admission, from watching the games. It was part of the original designs but burned down in the 1934 fire. Reconstructed from the tin, it was reassembled in 1976 out of hard plastic.

Vegas Projected Win Total
84.5Wins
I think that 84.5Wins is way too low. Last year this team won 81 games last year. With how awesome their lineup looks, how their defense will be, hopefully, a better season from Harper this team should easily hit the over and be in the hunt for a wildcard
Storylines to Follow
Realmuto Extension of up to 150Mil! Thats nuts!!!
How do Segura and Kingery fit together?
Segura moves to 2B and Kingery takes 3B, while Gregorius takes over at SS, Hector Neris(CP)
Bold Predictions
This team resigns Realmuto, adds more talent, Harper is an MVP candidate this season and they make a legit run in the playoffs
Fact Check
Cliff Lee finished his career on the Phillies with a .315 average and 33 home runs. You read that right. There was a Cliff Lee on the Phillies from 1921-1924. He played first base and catcher.
