Also: Keith Law:

I see four flawed contenders [in the AL East], and a team with its engine stuck in reverse. The Red Sox strike me as the least flawed contender, a team with a potential 850-run offense and enough improvement in run prevention to sneak away with the division. I feel as if their defense is particularly underrated, but getting Hanley Ramirez out of left field and Pablo Sandoval entirely off the field helps, while on some nights they'll run out plus defenders at four or five spots.

AL East Projected Standings
Red Sox    90-72
Blue Jays  87-75
Rays       83-79
Yankees    83-79
Orioles    74-88
