I picked 86 wins, and I also pick 86 wins as the number of wins needed to win the division.

I took 30 and see I'm the only one going that low so far.

Wright, d'Arnaud, Wheeler, Syndergaard, LF trade/promotion, some run differential regression

Love that we have 10 votes and 10 different predictions so far.

Syndergaard looks like he's primed to explode, maybe. Most every ounce of the lucky-bounce statstuff says we're primed for a bounce.

For consistency of prediction's sake, went with 33 SHaM wins to bring the total to 78, or what I went with in the preseason poll. I'd be happy if they won 34, representing a winning record for an entire "second half," but wanting to be happy and predicting I'll be happy are two entirely different things.

There is going to be that phenom named Timo Jefferies that comes up and lights the world on fire this second half. He will continue his success in the post-season and become an October legend. Sure, the rest of his Major League career won't amount to much, but when the 2014 Championship team comes back for reunions, Timo Jefferies will get some of the biggest ovations.

This kid, he'd have been nothing without all those running-hard-all-the-way-from-first drills his dad made him do in their backyard pool.

Well, I want them over .500 and 41 is the most Metly number in the area.

Just feels like 38...

Ok, who's the other nut that took 45 wins?
|
| Chad Ochoseis Jul 18 2014 07:52 PM Re: SHaM-WOW 2014 |

35. Improvement based on Wheeler becoming more consistent, d'Arnaud getting over most of his Early Career Sucks, and Wright returning to form. Not counting on anything Syndegaardy until 2015.

Sham-WoW. Maximum amount of wins. Playoffs. Book that shit.

Total optimism.

This may be premature...but I was wrong about this thread. I hadn't seen the Mets too many times in the weeks before the AS break, but I've caught nearly every game since.

The SHaMs are off to an 8-7 start, on pace for 36 (35.73) 2nd-half wins.
