Have no idea how you're conflating team stats to preseason projections. The latter are of course highly variable. Nobody can predict an MLB season and all systems have a 5-10 game standard deviation. Vegas said 80. If you knew that was wrong, you should've bet on it.

Stop reading this shit, it will rot your brain. They know stats, but they appear to severely undervalue bullpen, defense and baserunning. All of which we are good at.

I doubt you have any specific proof of what you're wiriitng here. It sounds right so it must be. (In reality, what *did* happen was DM plugged two huge weaknesses DH + back end bullpen into strengths and proj systems AND bettors and even you wouldn't predict that)
