94 and 1st place by 1 game. I think Cease takes a step forward and we avoid any other catastrophic injuries. Trade activity is a +- 4 for me on this. 

96 and 1st. Pitching leads the way.

86 and 2nd.

90-72, tied with the Twins

Sox beat the Twins October 4th for the division win...Tony's 77th birthday.

90 wins, and it's good for 1st.

Lineup without Eloy: Top 10 in the Majors (would easily have been Top 5 with him)

Starting Pitchers: Top 10 in the Majors

Bullpen: Top 5 in the Majors

Defense: Top 15 in the Majors

I think that's a fair estimation.  If that's all accurate, I think 90 wins is very achievable.  Obviously the Twins also can claim similar numbers, so 2nd is still a very real possibility, but the Sox should still make the postseason as a Wild Card even if they get 2nd.  As others have said, failure to make the postseason would be a real letdown at this point.

96 wins.  Offense suffers a bit of regression but the pitching staff carries us to an AL Central championship.

93 wins and 1st place

Giolito and Cease dominate...Bullpen is lights out as expected.

Moncada finishes 3rd in MVP voting, Madrigal wins the batting title and Robert & Madrigal win Gold Gloves.

Collins & Stiever are traded mid-season/deadline.

 

 

90-72.  1st place.  Twins win 86.  

I will go ahead and say 87, 2nd place, battle with the Cleveland baseball club and several others all year for the 2nd wild card. 

93. 1st Twins at 89. 

Whoever just came in at 80-82 care to put your name to it?

putting my name on 95. the pitching staff is going to lead the way

94 w's and 2nd place, down from pre-Eloy injury whereas would have said 98 wins and 1st place

 

I'm thinking about 84-86 wins. If they stay remarkably healthy, maybe it's more....but I don't see that happening and I think Eloy is a tremendous void in the lineup. 

86 wins, second place. Hopefully motivates the FO to do something significant this off-season, using money from a strong uptick in Season Ticket sales heading into 2022.

Duvision winners:

Yankees Twins Houston Mets Milwaukee LA

99

92 wins...edge Twins by 2 games for division...BP leads the way, alongside solid starting staff & timely hitting. Robert struggles early but he mashes in the 2nd half & Moncada vies for AL MVP. Lynn is only so-so, but he eats plenty of innings and keeps us in most games. 

98

Pitching carries them all year. 

Enough offense until eloy comes back Sept 1 and they catch fire 

I'm confident they'll win between 85 and 98 games, I went pessimist in the poll so I would be right if they end up sucking. I very much hope I look extremely stupid 6 months from now.

I voted 92-94 wins. Before Eloy's injury, I had them playing .600 baseball.  I think his loss costs us a few games. 1st place. 

I love how the Twins lost today - Alex Colome blows a 3-run 9th inning lead and the Twins lose in 10. Hit batter, error, single, second out advances runners, double ties the game. 

Bump. We are locked in to the 92-94 wins option, and we obviously won the division. Well done, SoxTalk.

We should have had an option asking “and will you be happy or miserable” with 80% of the 92 and first place option apparently miserable

At least I got 1 thing right
