2023 Baltimore Orioles projected lineup and wRC+
CF Mullins 110
C Rutschman 133
SS Henderson 129
RF Santander 119
1B Mountcastle 121
3B Urías 110
DH Stowers 110
LF Hays 109
2B Frazier 99
Team average — 115.6
Note: While the Orioles (projected to go 80-82) are drawing more potential postseason attention this offseason than the Red Sox, the number show the teams are not all that far apart when it comes to average wRC+. While Baltimore has just one player under 100 and the Red Sox have two, Boston is much more top-heavy than the Orioles (two players with 138 each and two more in the 120-range versus Baltimore having just one above 130 and two above 120).
2023 Tampa Bay Rays projected lineup and wRC+
1B Díaz 135
SS Franco 132
LF Arozarena 126
2B Lowe 131
DH Ramírez 110
RF Margot 102
3B Paredes 128
C Bethancourt 101
CF Sirí 100
Team average — 118.3
Note: Notice that the Rays (projected to post an 86-76 record) do not have a player below 100 on the list, helping push them past both the Orioles and Red Sox in our rankings. Wander Franco could be the key to the Rays living up to those numbers this season.
