Nationals are covering the 90. Soriano closing is big.

Nationals are covering the 90. Soriano closing is big.

He is a great addition to an already deep roster and staff. They should duplicate last years record as long as Span makes the adjustment to the new league, they have to have a lead off man ignite this team and not rely on the late inning heroics like last year. Nats should win 95 games at the least.

Here are my props for Total Wins for 2013:

All plays are -115 unless noted:

GL!!

Indians Over 77 1/2 (9 games better than in 2012? I think so! More offense, addition of Bourn will really help and pitching staff should eek out at least 10 more wins this yr, still back to 3rd in their division however)

Yankees Under 86 1/2 (I don't see any offense to get this club going this year, if the pitchers have any sense, they will put Cano on and pitch to all the other hitters, Yankees have no one to fear in their lineup and their staff is ancient, off injuries and just don't see Joe Girardi getting these boys extra wins in crunch time, 84 wins max)

A's Over 83 (Young staff should duplicate what they did in 2012 and solid bullpen, also hitters in lineup will scratch out some ribbies, 88 wins)

Detroit Over 90 (Tigers offense will be their biggest weapon and strong starting pitching, young untested bullpen will be key to make or break year and a return to the WS in 2013, Detroit 94 wins)

Houston Under 59 1/2 (Astros had 51 wins last year with no DH, this yr they get to use an extra bat, only problem is, who is going to win any games for them on the bump? 57 wins max)

Royals Over 79 (I really contemplated taking the under this year after Royals disappointed last year and got 72 wins, but this year they actually have some starting pitching, their bullpen is not a problem and they have some young lefty hitters and power to get some runs across, the team lacks speed so getting early leads and keeping them is key for Royals in 2013, 81-81 record)

AZ Over 81 1/2, -120 (AZ got 81 wins last year, got rid of Upton and some other trash that didn't help their chemistry, this year in their division they could gain a couple more wins as San Diego hadn't helped themselves in the off-season and Colorado sux, AZ should get 83 wins or more)

Phillies Over 81 1/2 (Phils starting pitching and some new arms in the bullpen should help them and finally have a healthy lineup or depth to get some offense going. Young will help, well both of them, also speed with Revere will ignite, he's hard to pitch to and may get 50+ steals, Phils will get 90 wins this year and come in 2nd behind the Nats)

Rockies Under 71 1/2 (Rockies didn't do anything in the off-season to help themselves, Helton is washed up, their pitching staff can't get people out or stay healthy and their front office is a mess, Rockies will be lucky to get 65 wins this year)

Nats Over 90 (Nats got 98 wins in 2012 and this year, no inning constraint on their young arms and they added depth in their already strong BP, the offense should get a lift with 2nd yr of Werth trying to produce more than he did in 2012, Zimmerman at hot corner should drive in 100 runs, the other young kids will help, Span should get some runs scored, Nats to get 94 wins at minimum)

Cubs under 72 (Where is the improvement over 61 wins from 2012? I don't see it anywhere in their lineup or pitching staff. Marmol is a mess and good fire starter, their offense is anemic, only hope is if Rizzo can drive in 180 runs and hit 55 bombs and Castro does something, but 69 wins looks like a done deal)

St Louis Over 85 1/2 (Cards still have some pitching even without Carp, Wainwright, Garcia, some young arms and hopefully Skipper will leave Lynn alone and let him start, even though he's a good closer, offensively have to count on young bats to produce better than they did in 2012, Craig for sure, Cards took a hit losing Furcal for the year with TJ, but they should still manufacture 87 wins in their weak ass division)

Cincy over 88 1/2 (Reds are my pick to go to the WS and actually look like the "BIG RED MACHINE" of old, as long as everyone stays healthy and they can get 6 innings per game from their closer converted back to starter in Cuban flamethrower, Chapman (Hope he doesn't do a Nefatili Feliz here, Reds should get 97 wins again)

Giants Over 86 (Giants will get strong push by overpaid Dodger club, strong starting pitching and bullpen along with healthy Posey and Pence there for a full season should help produce some runs and match 90 wins easily, they got 94 last year, should be enough to win division, as long as everyone stays healthy)

GL!

Later!

Not trying to be a homer cause I have picked the Twins UNDER for the past 2 years but this year they go OVER and I think its easy.

They have a revamped rotation, It's not stunning but it is an innings eater compared to last year. Their Bullpen was over used last year and it showed. No more Nick Blackburn no more Liriano and no More Pavano. This is great news

Morneau is much healthier this year, he didn't miss many games last year but he is 100 percent and he really turned it on last 2 months of the season. I look for him to be big this year. Don't worry about the loss of Span and Revere. Hicks is going to be an upgrade..

I have the Twins winning about 72 - 74

Going to be tough for the Giants and Diamondbacks to both go over if the Dodgers show up at all.

You might need 100 losses from the Padres and Rockies (you might get it, but I'm not sure).
