Spring training is about to officially start, and MLB’s Opening Day is roughly six weeks away. We’re so close to watching baseball games that matter, but we’re right in the thick of projections season.

Baseball Prospectus is the next to release its own version, and they’re very kind to both New York teams. In fact, they’re so kind that BP’s PECOTA projections are leaving the door open for a Subway Series this October.
PECOTA and ZiPS both agreed the Mets and Yankees would be at the top of their respective divisions.
