- Minnesota: under, although not by much. I think 89 wins is going to be tough, but they got a deep bullpen and if they can be healthy this year they probably do well.
- Cleveland: under, unless their rotation can be more productive and throw more innings.
- Detroit: equal or under. I think they'll take a step forward. Especially Torkelson and Skubal and hopefully we'll see Jace Jung this year. But they're leaning a lot on Baez, Urshela and Vierling to fill the left side of the infield.
- Kansas City: over. With upgrades to their bullpen and rotation they should at least be better than their 56 wins last year. And I think Witt will find another level and Paquantino will take a step. Maybe it's more a hopeful 'over' though
- Chicago: under. A lot has to go right for this team to be better than last year and I think they'll trade Cease (maybe more) at the deadline, if not earlier.

I would say that it's worth picking them up. Brandon Sanderson does a pretty good job. It's not the same as Robert Jordan, but it doesn't have to be. He does a goes job of capturing the feel of the series. And it reads differently from his own books, which isn't easy to do. And I love how the story unfolds in the last book. There were definitely some story points I did not see coming.
I've read it and I loved it indeed. I hope The Doors of Stone comes out soon
There are definitely similarities, I agree. The setting out on a quest, multiple important characters but one that has the most important task, Rand shows some similarity to Frodo in their background, and a dark lord that's wants to wreath the world in shadow. But then, it must be hard for a fantasy writer to not be influenced by Tolkien.
I have not, but it's going on my reading list. Thanks for the tip. I like longer series, especially fantasy series that you can really delve into. So the Sword of Truth fits perfectly
I finished A Memory of Light (the final book in the Wheel of Time Series) and The Last Metal by Brandon Sanderson. Now I'm rereading The Lord of the Rings.
I'm also reading The Recording Engineers Handbook and Complete Vocal Technique.
Nice. I finished the final book a couple of weeks ago. It's one of the best series I've ever read!
Oh he backs it up with his words
I'll start it off:
- Under on New York, unless they end up getting Blake Snell. I think they'll be good anyway, but I'm not sure on 94 wins because they'll probably have multiple injuries.
- Over on Toronto. I think Vlad will be better, Varsho to perform more like his D-back days and Bo to take another step. And the rotation is still solid, even more if Manoah can get back on track.
- Over on Tampa. Because they're Tampa
- Over on Baltimore. Don't think an explanation is necessary.
- Under on Boston if they don't get Monty.

I live in the Netherlands and I learned to make my own lunch from an early age. Can't say for certain at which age, but 6 or 7 sounds about right. I made lasagna when I was 11 and cooked other stuff regularly. My parents always stimulated me being self sufficient. And I saw the same happening with my friends.
