Baseball Prospectus Projects 77 Wins for Cubs in 2010

January 28, 2010 7:58 pm By Neil Leave a Comment

Baseball Prospectus released their projections for the Twenty-Ten season on Thursday … and on paper, it does not look good for the Cubs.

PECOTA projects a 77-85 campaign for Lou Piniella’s crew … third place in the National League Central Division. Again, these are projections based playing time-weighted projections for each player, which builds up to a team projection.

The same system projected the Cubs to win the central in 2009 with 92 wins.
