Boston Red Sox
2019 win complete over/under: 95.5
2018 win total: 108
The reigning World Series champs ran roughshod on the rest of the American League this past year and once more in the World Series in their five-game victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Free agent closer Craig Kimbrel isn’t expected back, however, Boston mostly brings back the same group, trade deadline developments included, to the one which essentially went wire-to-wire as the best team in baseball 2018. I really don’t find a 13-win decline for the champs, therefore give me the above.
Prediction: RED SOX — OVER 95.5 (-125)

New York Yankees
2019 win total over/under: 95.5
2018 win complete: 100
The Yankees’ over/under win total is much more aligned to last season’s success, yet this time I expect the Yankees to give the Red Sox a considerably stiffer streak for AL East supremacy.
They included James Paxton as a co-ace supporting Luis Severino plus they re-upped deadline acquisition J.A. Happ following an 11-start run of success in the Yankees’ rotation.
All of a sudden, the Yankees have a fearful starting rotation, a thunderous lineup, along with a lights-out bullpen. I don’t have any issues with the above here.
Prediction: YANKEES — OVER 95.5 (-125)

Toronto Blue Jays
2019 win total over/under: 76.5
2018 win total: 73
The Blue Jays suffered an extremely disappointing season in 2018, but they ought to enjoy better fortunes in 2019, at least from a health standpoint.
The two Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez — Toronto’s top two pitchers — missed considerable time last year and were extremely unproductive while on the bracket consequently. With these two anticipated to enjoy healthy seasons, the Blue Jays will recoup some wins dropped from last season.
Add in the inevitable advertising of high prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. along with bats sporting powerful potential and the Blue Jays need to be able to get much closer to the .500 mark.
Prediction: BLUE JAYS — OVER 76.5 (+115)

Tampa Bay Rays
2019 win total over/under: 84.5
2018 win total: 90
The Rays were one of the biggest surprises in baseball last year when they won 90 games while battling the titanic Red Sox and Yankees in the AL East all year.
I don’t expect quite the exact same level of success this time around for a group that still only had three valid members to their rotation. Their”opener” plan was mostly successful, but Kevin Cash better hope his previously unknown relief corps can replicate their success from last season.
The Rays are constantly sneaky; nevertheless, I think they fall nearer to the .500 mark this time around.
