here's the setup in 20:
Favorites: 91+ wins
| Yankees | Dodgers | Astros | Nationals | Mets | Braves | Twins |
Contenders: 83+ wins
| Indians | Cubs | Rays | Cardinals | Reds | Red Sox | Padres | A's |
Underdogs: 75+ wins
| D'Backs | White Sox | Phillies | Angels | Brewers | Rangers | Rockies | Pirates |
LongShots: 68+ wins
| Royals | Marlins | Blue Jays | Giants | Mariners | Tigers | Orioles |
that NL East is stacked, 3 of the top 7 teams, and frankly I wouldn't write off Philly yet, even as an underdog, I've already seen Milwaukee, another underdog, play for a piece of metal over in full Franchise mode.
lotta pressure in San Diego & Cincinnati, I'm not sold that they are ready for prime-time. I think they fall in between the crack of Contender & Underdog. Toronto may not quite be ready for prime-time either but I have more expectations than LongShot, I'd bump them into Underdogs. but the Blue Jays have the same problem Philadelphia has, too many better teams ahead of them in their division.
Caulfields Most Overrated team in 20: NY Mets, and Most Overlooked team in 20: the Dont Sleep On Us Baby Jays.
