82-80.
IMO, it's not up to the Jays it depends on how bad their competition is. No question Baltimore is elite. Tampa will probably be their usual competitive selves. The Yankees are hard to call, could be great or could be mediocre. The Red Sox will battle with the Jays to keep out of the division cellar. According to a lot of experts the AL Central is a horror show this year. The same experts think the only elite AL West team is Houston.

Now that Matt "the rally killer" Chapman is gone, Cavan Biggio could have a breakout year.

Philip.
You were so down on this team last year, you've had enough, you'll never cheer for them.... They did basically nothing in the offseason and now they're going to the WS. LOL
You a die-hard, till-the-day-you-die, dyed in the wool Jays fan. You can't help it.
I'm hoping for the great citizens of Toronto that they can reach the low 90's.
I think I'm seeing a maturing team with the league's best defense combined with decent starting pitching.
They should a lot of low scoring games.
The faster they can get Danny Jansen back the better.
My Yankees..I don't know...They've been basically a .500 tean the last year and a half. With a now 300 million dollar payroll that's just unacceptable. How GM Brian Cashman keeps his job is beyond me. Cole is out for the first 2 months but reading between the lines this could be longer. Breaking spring training Marcus Stroman is their best starting pitcher. They're relief pitching is rock solid however. They're not a real strong defensive team either. That's a recipe for disaster.
Orioles should walk away with this...Is this the year the rays implode?...Red Sox suck and I'm happy about it.

Danny Jansen has a fractured wrist, we won't see him in April. That means the Jays have two Schwarzeneggers behind the plate. Vogelbach started in the Jays farm system, this is a homecoming for him.
I'm sticking with 100 + wins for the Jays this year. Jethro Bodine made a smart move by letting Matt Chapman walk, maybe now Vladdy will get served more tatters.
It's so comforting to hear Buck again.

You make a lot of good nicknames, but I give up on this one. Why Jethro Bodine?
Smoke and mirrors off season and there was talk of trading Vlady? That would be disastrous, he's the centerpiece of the offense. That's why I call Russ Atkins, Jethro Bodine.

I know it’s crazy. I feel the energy. There is just something about this team that reminds me of 1992. I thought they should’ve done more as well in the off-season. There is just something about this team. I can’t explain it. But we definitely need Varsho to step up his game. Justin Turner is going to turn out to be a great pick up.Philip.

Obviously not defensively, but offensively Bichette has the ability to be better than Alomar. And Guerrero has the ability to be the same if not a little better than Carter we just haven’t seen the consistency yet.
The positive energy is flowing out of me lol. Wait until they find their rhythm. Wait until they find their groove. Wait until Vlad assumes that leadership role for real. This is going to happen this year……. The Blue Jays are going to be dynamite this year.

Maybe this is a generational thing. Which Jethro Bodine are you referring to?
But Jethro stood tops in his Grade 5 class...............by a good 6 inches.
If the (boo hiss) Yankees underperform this year could it finally cost the GM and the manager their jobs? If they have injury problems could that save their jobs?
I figured that's the one you are referring to, but I was wondering if Insidious Von was referring to someone else with the same name.
