Draft Kings Dodgers 103.5 D-Backs 83.5 Padres 81.5 Giants 81.5 Rockies 60.5
As things stand at the moment, I would take the Padres under the total.

Draft Kings Dodgers 103.5 D-Backs 83.5 Padres 81.5 Giants 81.5 Rockies 60.5 As things stand at the moment, I would take the Padres under the total. It's kind of impossible to calculate right now for the Padres in particular. There is so much uncertainty in the outfield. What will we get out of the prospects? If the hitting prospects don't perform in Spring Training, expect trades and/or late signings. And that's a scenario where the Padres don't get anyone else before Spring Training (worst case scenario). Bottom line, this team isn't done acquiring pieces for the season, so the number is kind of irrelevant. Plus, we are going to see a lot of contributions from pitchers this year that aren't included in WAR totals, making projections somewhat silly. That being said, 103.5 for the Dodgers is completely absurd given how loaded the division is - I would guess 97-100 for them. 84-86 is a more likely win total for our Padres. Is that good enough for the playoffs? Who knows.

Based on what’s there right now, 75 wins.
-Unproven bullpen -Very unstable starting rotation, top 2 guys are injury prone and there are zero lefties. -Questions at CF, LF, 1B. Since the farm system doesn’t have many MLB ready options at these positions, Preller will have to sign some journeymen players to fill the void. Have Wil Myers or Hunter Renfroe signed with anyone yet?

Preller might reap the benefit of unsigned players looking for a spot on a club, with those players perhaps desperate, and willing to sign a 1-year deal at a discount. JMO

It's been awfully quiet lately. Wonder if Preller is trying to wait some of the unsigned guys out to get some guys to sign for cheaper/for less years.
