Jesusfuckingchrist. Are you just posting to post? I realize I'm not the right person to say that but goddam.
"I expect Detroit to win more than 84-85 games."
"I'd be looking for about 87-89 wins from this team."
Do you just hate the number 86?
Two divisions were decided by 2 games in 2015 and the AL wildcard was decided by 1.
In 2014 one division was won by 1, one by 2, and again the AL wildcard by 1 game.
In 2013 one division was won by 1, one by 3, and the AL wildcard by 1.
I don't think I need to go further, and I don't think it's new information to you that at least one or two divisions come down to the final week each year. In a division which may see a lot of parity, 84-85 wins can be very, very different from 87-89 wins. And you know it. So what's your point?
