I was actually thinking about that this morning, SBDD. Excellent point. I'll feel quite dumb when every NL team ends up 79-83.

Maybe they all think there's going to be massive logjams at the top of each division, necessitating a whole bunch of one game playoffs to determine who goes to the postseason and raising the win totals of a bunch of teams. And in Kurkjian's case, he just thinks there'll be 33 of 'em...

All teams. That's completely unclear if you haven't read a previous post...my fault.

I didnt check the math... but is this average for NL teams or all teams? Because there are interleague games.

Personally, I'm surprised most of them were even that close. Especially Phillips. (Law is the exception, of course - I knew his would average to 81 even before I scrolled down to read it).
