REGULAR SEASON RECAP AND 2019 OUTLOOK

The regular season went better than expected. They won 89 games vs an expected win total of 81.5. They exceeded expectations on both the road and at home. Their 55.6% home win percentage was better than expected (53.9%). They won 54.3% on the road which was much better than expected (46.7%). We are only projecting 74.4 wins in our latest season forecast for next season and are projected to finish tenth in the American League. There is not much of a gap between them and the #9 ranked Royals who are projected for 76.4 wins. They are definitely not World Series contenders (less than a 0.1% chance). Their odds of winning it all are 1000/1, 0.1%. Their odds of winning the AL are 500/1, 0.2%. Their chances of making it to the World Series are also basically zero.
