| Team | Wins | Losses |
| Cleveland | 95 | 67 |
| Detroit | 86 | 76 |
| Kansas City | 80 | 82 |
| Minnesota | 77 | 85 |
| Chicago | 73 | 89 |
The Cleveland projection seemed a little high so I've come down on the low side and Detroit's a little low, but even after adjusting for that, you'll see I don't even have this being a particularly close race.
Detroit may be getting all the press for their big acquisitions, but the stand-pat Indians look like the class of the division to me.
Kansas haven't finished as high as 3rd since 2003, their last winning season but I'm buying into a dose of hope for the poor Royals.
77 wins for the Twins is probably about what is expected after their fire sale, it's next year and beyond that matters in the Twin Cities.
The White Sox just look plain bad. It's hard to believe that these guys won the Series in 2005 and with much of the same roster, but then, that essentially has been their problem. Regression and aging have been ignorred or scoffed at and I can't see this year being any kinder than the last to the Pale Hose.
