On Wednesday, I released my previews for all 30 MLB teams, and on Thursday I revealed my favorite over and under bets in each league.
Today, I'll summarize which team I see capturing each division while picking the 10 playoff entrants.
AL East: Toronto Blue Jays
When the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook released its opening total wins markets in February, the Boston Red Sox, last year's cellar-dwellers in the AL East, were installed with the highest win total in the division. Small, half-game shifts for both Boston (down) and Toronto (up) have evened both totals at 87, but that still has me somewhat puzzled. With the signing of David Price, Boston has a sizable rotation edge over Toronto, to the tune of about 65 fewer projected runs allowed over the course of the season. However, the Red Sox had a 34-run advantage last season, so it's not a huge gain.
