79 wins.
I actually think 86, but every year I get optimistic and predict a big year. I've got to change that luck!

Re: Gonelong's 6th annual Season W/L prediction thread ...
I think it's going to be tightly bunched again this season. Reds get 85 wins, and it might be enough to win. The only team that won't be in it is Pittsburgh. Everyone else stays in it until Sept.

Re: Gonelong's 6th annual Season W/L prediction thread ...
72-90 this season
One of the better predictors of how the season will go is the final 10-ish games of spring training (I used the final 12), when rotations are being set and everyday lineups are being used more often and for longer periods. Reds went 5-7 in that period. Extrapolated over a full season that means 68 or so wins. I think the Reds are a tad better than that so I'm saying 72 wins this year.

And that's being optimistic.

Good for Narron's first winning season as a manager and a 3 year contract extension.
