Baseball Prospectus: BP released its annual PECOTA projections yesterday, and of most interest to Yankees fans is the fact that the system currently has New York notching the best record in baseball at a rounded 99-63 — well ahead of their AL East rivals and also better than the Mets, Dodgers, and even the defending champion Astros. The league-best 568 runs allowed is also impressive. Esteban will have some more specific thoughts on the extended PECOTA player projections later today.
The Athletic | Zach Buchanan: This is both a league-wide piece and behind a paywall but worth reporting regardless.
