Oh, and I've been saying 85 wins.
13 game improvement from 2012, but really only a six or seven-game improvement over their pythag.
Factors:
Full year of Salvador Perez
Moustakas/Hosmer better
Escobar worse at plate (slightly)
Francoeur not historically awful (league-average is an improvement of 2 wins)
Better starting pitching
Less overworked bullpen
