Time for our New York posters to make unrealistic and delusional predictions about how well the Mets will do. 
Seriously, here is one set of predictions on the win-loss possibilities of all the teams. A good place to start the discussion.
Following the team names, the first number is the actual number of wins during the 2017 season. The second number is the projected number of wins for 2018.
Let the discussion begin.

Both the Mets and the Yankees will be over their projected wins.
The Braves could win a game or two over, with the Phillies now an under. Their manager has already proven to be the dumbest guy ever to manage a team -- and there's 160 games left!
The Cubs will be a few games under their projection only because the Cardinals are geared for a very good year, and they should be an over bet.
The Indians' number seems too high so I'll peg them as an under. Remember their pitching coach is no longer there as he's managing the under-rated NY Mets. That truly is a big loss for the Indians, imo.
