2018 MLB Win Totals

The 2018 MLB Win Totals have been posted by 5Dimes and they are pretty interesting.

The thing that stands out to me is how high some of these numbers are. The Astros at 97.5, the Cubs at 93.5, the Indians at 94.5, the Dodgers at 96.5, the Nationals at 92.5 and the Yankees at 94.5. This are some crazy high win totals and it just shows how top heavy the league right now. The Red Sox at 90.5 are the seventh best total in the league. That’s insane.

The top heavy AL leaves room for just one Wild Card team to come from the Mariners, Angels, Rangers, Twins, Rays and Blue Jays. That spot is, hypothetically, against the loser of the Red Sox and Yankees AL East battle. That doesn’t seem like much of a reward and you have to wonder if some of these teams will call it quits midway through the season.

Oakland is a sleeper over team for me as well. They always have young pitching in that organization and the offense really exploded last season after adding Matt Olson and Matt Chapman to the lineup.

The NL is slightly better with just the Cubs, Nationals and Dodgers seemingly set in stone. The Brewers, Rockies, Diamondbacks, Cardinals, Mets and Giants should all be good this year and battle for those Wild Card spots.
