77 wins.
I expect the pitching to be better than we've seen in quite some time - though that doesn't say much - but this team is likely going to have a serious on-base percentage problem that I expect to cut into the offensive run production.

On the bright side, I think our upper bound has increased significantly. In past years, an everything goes right outcome would still have left us in low 80's. This year, it would put us in the wild card hunt.
