Baseball projections are fun and interesting and we all enjoy them. The people who put them together do a ton of hard work and are a lot smarter than I am. They also get a lot of unfair criticism from legions of fans who think their projectors hate them.
The 2017 PECOTA projections are now out, and about them I have only one thing to say.
THEY HATE THE PHILLIES.
Nah, I’m just kidding, it’s fine, although they do believe the Phillies will finish in last place in the National League East once again, with the second-worst record in the NL.
