MLB.com predicted the 2023 American Major League American League East Division rankings.스포츠토토
On the 16th (Korean time), MLB.com looked at the strength of teams in the Eastern Division of the American League and predicted this year’s win or loss. The Toronto Blue Jays, who ranked second last year with 92 wins and 70 losses and a .568 win rate in 162 games, are expected to win the Eastern Division with 95 wins and 67 losses this year.
The New York Yankees, who ranked first last season, fell to second place with a record of 90-72. The Baltimore Oriolga, which stayed in fourth place with 83 wins and 79 losses last year, was third with 87 wins and 75 losses, and the Tampa Bay Rays were pushed to fourth place with 82 wins and 80 losses.
The Boston Red Sox, which has health problems such as the vacancy of top infielder Zander Bogarts who left as a free agent and the injury of veteran infielder Trevor Story, is expected to stay at the bottom with a record of 68-94 for the second consecutive season. Boston posted a record of 78-84 last year. I saw that this year’s grades were even worse.
The team to keep an eye on is the Yankees. The Yankees were the strongest in the East last year. Bigshot Aaron Judge led the Yankees offense with 62 homers.
Judge was selected as the American League MVP with 62 homers and wore the Yankees uniform again with a 9-year, 360 million dollar ‘magnificent contract’ as a free agent. In the midst of this, MLB.com was concerned, saying, “Can Judge stay healthy?”
MLB.com said, “Jersey has only played 148 games or more in three seasons. 3 is not even half of his big league career.”
Judge, who debuted in the big leagues in 2016, won the Silver Slugger and Rookie of the Year titles the following year with a batting average of 2.84 and 52 home runs in 155 games.
However, he only started 112 games in 2018 and 102 in 2019. In 2020, he played only 28 of 60 games amid a season shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
With 148 games in 2021 and 157 games last year, there are more business trips for two consecutive years, but looking back on the past, there are still question marks about health.
MLB.com said, “The Yankees tried not to lose the jersey in the offseason. As you can see from the Yankees’ desperation, without stopping, the Yankees’ offense collapses.”
