With spring training approaching, the computer projection systems are releasing their initial projected standings. We will focus on the AL West and compare the projected division and playoff odds. The three projection systems are: Fangraphs, Baseball Prospectus PECOTA, and ZIPS. The projected standing are included in those links. Keep in mind that the projected standings could change by the beginning of the season, based on continued free agent signings.
As you will notice, the FG projection and ZIPS projection are both published at Fangraphs. The FG projection utilizes an average of Steamer and ZIPS player projections.
