why add fuel to the fire? astros have a great team. why give them extra runners on base? why risk suspension when astros players weren't suspended? it's a lose-lose. astros will end up winning 95+ games. BOOK IT

Just thinking the very first game first pitch opening day wouldn't be surprised if they throw behind first batter. 

And I don't think they win 95 but make the playoffs.

Hit George Springer and then have to face Brantley, Bregman, Altuve, Yordan, Correa, Gurriel, etc.? Yikes. That's an easy way to give up a crooked number and start your season 0-1 and tax the bullpen early for the Angels who are finally trying to compete for an AL West title. That's how you get swept to start the season.

You better win one this year, because if the Sox win 80+ games this year rebuilding we will serious contenders again in 2021. Yes, JBJ Benny and Verdugo is a good enough OF to win a WS especially when you have Xman, Devers, Chavis, and JD Martinez also in the lineup. We just need a starter or two next year

Sox will be good this season. No easy win in the division either way. Esp with all the Yanks injury issues. I like when the red Sox are good. It makes the rivaly better.

Rays are better than Sox too, right now at least. 

Sox/Astros was turning into a nice rivalry playing each other last 2 playoffs until we shit the bed last year.

I don't think they hit anyone and get suspended but can see a throw behind. They are sure gonna face a lot of boing this year.  Maybe it actually brings them together , but surprised more wasn't done. A lot of players not too happy about it .

Yea, that's the problem. No astros suspended so now if you hit them you get suspended. I think astros want to prove they can win without cheating and win a ton of games this year

Looks like Vegas has them at 94.5. They have won 101, 103, and 107 the past 3 seasons.

Their Division got better,
Cole gone, all the drama,

I'm not willing to hold that bet. My only surefire bets is that Benintendi scores 100 runs and out "WAR"'s Mr. Infidelity, Brett Gardner!

Stanton and Judge are locks for DL stints. He’s gotta play a lot, no?

"The Rock" is NEVER on the DL!

Injury wise, the Yankees are picking right up where they left off last year! So much for revamping the training staff.

It sucks, however neither Severino nor Stanton contributed anything to a 103 win season last year

5-4 yanks in my lifetime. I won’t count my ‘88 ring with Dykstra and the Mets.

 

6-4 in your life I assume? The rest of the yanks rings were before the titanic sank

Nasty Nate Eovaldi has looked electric this spring. If Sale can start by April 7th and do well along with Eovaldi and E-Rod we may have a slight chance at the wildcard. A hot April would really be fun!
