Projections and Predictions

Quite frankly, the Los Angeles Dodgers this season aren’t much different from last. This may seem like a completely revamped ball club, but that is simply because they don’t have 100 players on the DL, well, yet. Lets knock on some wood, and look at the team projections and predictions for 2017.

Projections:

Rotation:

  1. Clayton Kershaw
  2. Rich Hill
  3. Kenta Maeda
  4. Julio Urias
  5. Scott Kazmir

Bullpen:

Batting Order:

  1. Andrew Toles

  2. Corey Seager

  3. Justin Turner

  4. Adrian Gonzalez

  5. Joc Pederson

  6. Logan Forsythe

  7. Yazmani Grandal

  8. Yasiel Puig

  9. Clayton Kershaw

Record Predictions:

  • Fangraphs: 94-68

  • Bovada: 93.5 Wins

  • Personal Prediction: 96-66

I don’t think Fangraphs nor Bovada shied much from what the Dodgers will actually do next season. They are a team that could easily win 100 games, but for whatever reason never does. As for their batting lineup, it is hard to predict because we all know that Dave Roberts will have a different line-up on the daily.
