Baseball Prospectus released its PECOTA Projections for the upcoming season last week. And while everyone was focused on the win-loss records for the 30 teams, Baseball Prospectus also posted individual projections for position players and pitchers.
PECOTA is calling for a 92-win season for the Cubs which would be the best record in the NL Central and second in baseball to only the Los Angeles Dodgers (94-68). PECOTA has the Cubs (92-70) winning nine more games than the Pirates (83-79) and 10 more than the third place Cardinals (82-80).
