    Dunno, man. If we think it has anything to do with a combination of one-run and blowout Win %, we might be wrong as well...

    2004 Reds: 25-20 W/L One-Run, 11-35 W/L "Blowout"
    2004 Yankees: 24-16 W/L One-Run, 27-28 W/L "Blowout"

    BTW, I still refuse to believe that losing by five Runs is a true "Blowout" scenario, but that's what baseballreference.com uses to define it so that's what we get.

    The "Blowout" record is significantly different. The Reds were horrid in games decided by 5 or more Runs but the Yankees were a virtual 50/50 proposition. That's not enough to "tilt" the Run Differential against the Yanks unless they were losing by incredible amounts (15+ Runs) when they were on the losing end of those "Blowout" losses. But they lost only two games by more than 9 Runs (11 and 22 <ouchie>). And they were just as likely to knock the crud out of the opponent as they were to lose by 9 or less.

    So...dunno.

    I'll say 77-85, and it will be a monster mountain of bad pitching and injuries to climb over to reach that plateau.

    I guess this is the post Spring Training predicition, because we already did one of these in February. First 2005 prediciton thread
    Anyway, I got the seer out to the park again and this time she tossed some bones down on home plate and read them. She's sticking with the 92-70 prediction with a Wild Card playoff spot.

    Bah! There can be only one!

    I plan to aggregate the predictions in this thread with the predictions from the last 3 years and run a few calculations on them and post the results. IIRC, alloverjr has been spot on all three seasons.

    90 wins if everyone stays relatively healthy.

    76 wins if players are spending time with Doc Hollywood.

    I'm less optimistic than I was in the earlier thread, not sure why... 79-83.
