FanGraphs has very little confidence either will make a post-season run, placing their World Series odds at below three percent, with both teams having about a coin flip’s chance of making the playoffs to begin with. PECOTA sees slightly more in both teams, as it has Cleveland winning the division with 89 wins over Minnesota’s 88 wins.īasically, the most likely outcome is an 80-something win team from either Cleveland or Minnesota is going to win the division while a slightly less 80-something win team from either Cleveland or Minnesota vies for, and possibly falls short of, a wild card spot. Steamer doesn’t really disagree, and is slightly higher on the Twins, such that Steamer-ZiPS blend projections see the Guardians as either a game ahead of the Twins, or basically tied with them with 83 wins, depending on the methodology used. It projects Cleveland for just 83 wins next season, but because this is the AL Central we’re talking about here, that’s still enough to take the division by three games over Minnesota, assuming the point estimates play out in reality. ZiPS doesn’t really like this roster, honestly.

They make their way in the world with savvy moves for veterans, the occasional free agent signing, and most importantly, a top-notch pitcher development system. Their estimated $91 million payroll for 2023 ranks in the bottom 10 in all of baseball, and Guardians fans feel right at home there, ‘cause that's pretty much where they always are. The Guardians, and I will call them the Indians at some point today, even if just in my head, are always a team looking to exist, and sometimes excel, on the margins.

Even more good news: somehow, I think that division is actually worse heading into 2023 than it was last season, so the path is once again wide-open for Cleveland’s division title run. The good news for Cleveland is that no re-alignment happened over the winter and they still play in the AL Central. No division winner in baseball finished with fewer wins than the 92 the Cleveland Guardians posted in 2022, and no second-place team finished with fewer wins than the 81 wins the Chicago White Sox managed.
