The A’s are projected to win more games in 2018, but it might not be as many as fans are hoping for.
Baseball Prospectus released their PECOTA projections for all 30 Major League Baseball teams Wednesday morning. A 2018 finish of 77-85 is what the A’s are estimated to finish with, which would give them two-game improvement from last season.
77 wins would tie the Texas Rangers for last in the American League West, according to the projections. The Houston Astros are projected to finish with the best record in baseball at 99-63. The Seattle Mariners come in at 83-79, and the Los Angeles Angels at 80-82.
