lot of the win total projections for KC was in the mid-high 70's

vegas win total is actually generous here
I need some reasoning behind the low projections when Boston is slotted for 87 wins and KC 84.5.

son 93 wins is not easy

wanna do a ban be? i bet they are under 93
That team is stacked and can withstand injuries. They won 99 games with a bunch of youngins. Schwarber didn't play nearly a full season. Bryant is going to take a massive leap and be a terror. Russell will take a huge step.

Oh, and they added Heyward, Zobrist and Lackey. Retained Fowler for shyts and giggles too.

Bullpen is quietly solid.

That team is winning 95 or more, no doubt about it

Royals in a competitive division, lost some pitching, and they won a crazy amount of close games. Teams that rely on defense and timely hitting don't look as good on the projection scale probably
