Call 1-800-GAMBLER. Below are the projections for the Washington Nationals. Another 15 wins to add to this projection seem pretty straightforward. I think its more a reflection of whether one thinks the Mets are competitive with Atlanta (for the division) or with Philly (for the WC); given the health of JDG/Scherzer, Id choose the latter. They play half their games in Coors Field and Coors Field is weird, it makes sense to get hitters and pitchers that are adapted to the situation there (just as it makes sense for the Yankees to sign guys who take advantage of the short porch in right, etc.). Follow Ariel on Twitter at @ATCNY. ), Cleveland will outspend them in add-ons. Thats true for everyone in baseball, but the error bars for the win projections for this quintet feel particularly wide. Updated: Wednesday, January 18, 2023 1:06 PM ET, Park Factors But it would be a lot easier to do if they could bring back Freddie Freeman. The Cardinals probably have the best shot at toppling the Brewers atop the NL Central, but their case took a blow when Jack Flaherty and Alex Reyes went down with shoulder woes.

The ATC projections are more bullish on the White Sox's chances in 2022, putting the odds of Chicago making the playoffs at 82% versus the FanGraphs Depth Charts (FGDC) figure of 72%. The Twins surprised everyone when they landed Correa as their starting shortstop. An 85% chance to make the playoffs and a 9% chance to win the World Series at this point is high praise.

Renfroe is actually helpful for an organization that has proven bad at surrounding its stars with secondary talent, but theres a lot to do if the Angels are going to even maintain this place in the standings. You can divide Washingtons offense into two distinct parts. That makes the Rangers an interesting case study in a team trying to buy its way out of its rebuilding phase before the top prospects are ready to contribute. They traded for Matt Olson and immediately signed him to an eight-year extension, giving them their long-term replacement at first base.

Its a big bet on their player development group, which could pay dividends in a couple of years. Lets start with how teams performed versus their projections: Teams have gotten a bit more polarized in how theyre run in-season. Plenty of their magic from last season seems sustainable even if the projection systems cant recognize it, but it still feels like everything needs to go right, again, if theyre going to be a contender in 2022. Every spot of the lineup is projected to be worth at least two WAR, even the shortstop crater that Jeremy Pea will seek to fill. Ariel Cohen is a fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) and the Society of Actuaries (SOA). That was Milwaukees focus this offseason, trading for Hunter Renfroe and signing Andrew McCutchen to supplement the lineup. edit: damnit, I screwed it up. Ariel is also the winner of the 2020 FSWA Baseball Article of the Year award. I expect a busy offseason for the Mariners, with a definite focus on second base and corner outfield, and the Rangers have already been able to retain their best free agent-to-be, Martin Perez, for the 2023 season.

If the last 2 years are any indication, we'd need to bank on another 60 game season, God damn they are more optimistic than me. Updated: Wednesday, January 18, 2023 1:06 PM ET, Park Factors The exercise continues this offseason. Probably not. Theres no trick here; Im not going to say, Ha ha! This projection does include the addition of Matt Olson but it should pointed out, the Braves arent done with off-season moves. They also need to figure out how to solve the Coors Field hangover effect; over the last five seasons the Rockies have won 55.4% of their games at home and just 43.2% of their games on the road. 2023 ZiPS Projected Standings AL Central, 2023 ZiPS Projected Standings NL Central.

He also maintains a terrible Twitter account at @DSzymborski. This may look depressing, but it also reflects the fact that everyone in the division is getting a tougher schedule in 2023. All major league baseball data including pitch type, velocity, batted ball location, None of Starling Marte, Mark Canha, or Eduardo Escobar are superstars though Marte comes close at times but signing that trio really improved how the lineup looks going into 2022. Not for thr names floated and not if theyre keeping Naylor. The least the team could do is let the Orioles faithful have some fun at the ballpark. With a strong rotation led by Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler, it finally seems like Philadelphia has assembled the talent to break their 10-year playoff drought. Shane Bazs elbow injury was a particularly unwelcome bit of news. The Marlins find themselves on even footing with the teams in this tier behind the strength of their exciting pitching staff. All major league baseball data including pitch type, velocity, batted ball location, Podcasts: FanGraphs Audio . Relative to the Yankees, the big losses for the Rays (Corey Kluber, Kevin Kiermaier) and Jays (pretty much just Ross Stripling) are relatively mild. But the lineup imploded. The Jays get the top place in the table with the highest divisional odds. If theyre not your thing then Im not sure why you clicked on this article. They did bring back DeScalfani and Alex Wood and Logan Webb is a stud. Check out these NFL playoffs picks and predictions for the game, which can be seen at 1 p.m. MST on CBS and Paramount+. Brady Singer, Jackson Kowar, Daniel Lynch, and Kris Bubic, who collectively comprise the Royals highly regarded first-round haul from 2018, have all made their major league debuts to varying degrees of disappointment. Even if father time catches up to only one of them (and tbh has it not already for Longoria) then 81 wins is pretty reasonable unless Joey Bart just comes out blazing. If I were a Rockies fan, Id have voted to legalize psychedelic mushrooms, too. The rebellious part of me wanted to pick Steven Kwan as my staff pick for Rookie of the Year, but with Julio Rodrguez and Torkelson both going north with their teams, that would have been a stretch.

You forgot the except Cleveland at the end of that. Still they lost their starting catcher (Posey), second baseman (Solano), left fielder (Bryant), and best pitcher (Gausman). Well update these throughout the season as more and more info gets added. Too many wins for the Dodgers and too few for the Giants. Well start with the AL East: You shouldnt be surprised to see the Yankees crash back to earth here, based on the simple fact that the dude worth 11.4 WAR for them this past season hint, its not Tim Locastro is currently unsigned. The Marlins are in a similar position as they were last year, with a highly interesting young pitching staff and an absolutely atrocious offense that they cant even commit weekend dad levels of attention to fixing. If you think that certain franchises have a history of predictive over- or underperformance, youd have thought wrong, and Id bet its the same for other projection systems. Lets start with the good news first: Kansas Citys offense has several very interesting offensive players in the high minors. Should the Orioles trade Mountcastle for a good starter? After that is done, ZiPS applies another set of algorithms with a generalized distribution of injury risk, which change the baseline PAs/IPs selected for each player. Their problem is that none of Kansas Citys young pitchers have stepped up to contribute in a big way yet. Theyve assembled a surprisingly competent starting rotation given their home park, but the supporting cast for whichever stars are on their roster be it Bryant, Story, or Nolan Arenado just hasnt been good enough. Signing Corey Seager and Marcus Semien is a great place to begin, though. Read the rest of this entry . There are a lot of Reds who ZiPS sees as having significant upside (Elly De La Cruz, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Noelvi Marte), but the system doesnt see 2023 being their breakout campaigns. Former Braves outfielder is headed to the AL East. Signing Kris Bryant to launch dingers into the stratosphere in Denvers thin air is undeniably cool and fun.

ZiPS is projecting a solid return for Ronald Acua Jr., but theres still some danger in that outfield. Which is why they were trying to trade him up until the last minute. I know they dont want to block their prospects, but they dont seem to have been all that imaginative; the Red Sox figured out how to add Story to a team that already had Xander Bogaerts. In the. Theyll get Ronald Acua Jr. and Mike Soroka back from their respective injuries sometime during the season; Marcell Ozuna will return to the roster as well. He was a writer for ESPN.com from 2010-2018, a regular guest on a number of radio shows and podcasts, and a voting BBWAA member. Probably the most surprising team in these standings is the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have a cornucopia of players that ZiPS just really likes (Corbin Carroll, Brandon Pfaadt, Drey Jameson, and Ryne Nelson in particular). and play-by-play data provided by Sports Info Solutions.

Scherzer and Carlos Carrasco are both on the wrong side of 35, and the former has already dealt with some minor injuries this spring. Projection systems and all their glory have arrived. After a prolonged offseason rife with drama and surprises, Opening Day is finally upon us. These standings reflect everything through yesterdays Hunter Renfroe trade. While most other accumulation models apply equal weight to their underlying sources, ATC assigns weights based on historical performance. The Cards (catcher, a starting pitcher) and Brewers (two outfielders) have similar levels of neediness, and this preliminary projection basically preserves their relative 2022 standing. Here we see the results of Alex Anthopoulos ruthlessly ensuring that Atlantas entire core stays put for a very long time. Approximately minutes of joyous analysis. Even with a healthy team here Fangraphs projection stands and the Angels are projected to finish in 4th place in the AL West." With their rebuilding phase quickly coming to an end, they traded for Jesse Winker, Eugenio Surez, and Adam Frazier, and signed Ray to a long-term contract. Boston should have no problem scoring runs in 2022, but theres a lack of depth in the rotation one that got even thinner when Chris Sale fractured a rib this spring. Im inclined to agree that theres probably no way to truly solve the hangover, but I think theres also almost certainly a type of player profile that could be identified who would be less liable to suffer so much on the road. and play-by-play data provided by Sports Info Solutions. If you were looking for ZiPS to provide some clarity, I hope you havent been waiting with bated breath too long! Theyll have their work cut out for them in a stacked AL East, especially after missing out on the playoffs by one game last year, but their combination of young star power and big-name offseason acquisitions should get them over the hump and back into the postseason in 2022. If those additions can elevate the production of their pitching staff, and Trout, Ohtani, and Anthony Rendon can stay healthy, the Angels could have a shot at toppling the Astros in the AL West. ZiPS then generates a million versions of each team in Monte Carlo fashion the computational algorithms, that is (no one is dressing up in a tuxedo and playing baccarat like James Bond). Depth Charts: FanGraphs Depth Chart projections are a combination of ZiPS and Steamer projections with playing time allocated by our staff. The Yankees entered the offseason with clear needs at shortstop and first base, and in the starting rotation and yet didnt sign any of the many big name free agents who could have filled those holes. Many of Chicagos projections are notably south of where they were in 2022, and there are still at least two fairly serious holes in the starting lineup that the team better be more serious about filling this year.

Adley Rutschman should make his debut as soon as he returns from his spring arm injury, and its possible Grayson Rodriguez could follow soon after. You may not think it significant but for Dolan to spend 8 figures in FA is. After that is done, ZiPS applies another set of algorithms with a generalized distribution of injury risk, which change the baseline PAs/IPs selected for each player. Thats a trickier question, given the contours of the roster. Despite losing Freddie Freeman, the Braves have managed to restock a significant portion of their roster in their quest to become the first repeat World Series champions since the 19982000 Yankees.

These two NL Central rivals feel like theyre heading in different directions despite being projected for the same win totals in 2022. Taking home runs away in Baltimore seems like a cruel reward for fans who have been dragged through three 100-loss seasons in the last four years. The Astros are still the favorite to win the AL West, but theyre also looking just a little more vulnerable than they have in the recent past. It wouldnt be surprising to see the mean absolute error for an exercise like this, I want to use the simplest tool that gets the point across creep up over time.

When it comes to the Giants, ZiPS is increasingly a fan of Kyle Harrison, which helps to mute some of the loss of Carlos Rodn. Ostensibly, theyre allowing him time to work on his defense since he could be moving off shortstop sooner rather than later, but hed at least give fans in Pittsburgh something to get excited about. The outfield depth just isnt that strong, especially with neither Cristian Pache nor Drew Waters having any kind of breakout years in Triple-A. Things may get worse before they get better, however, as theres no guarantee that either Sean Murphy or Ramn Laureano starts the season with Oakland.
