It took a while to publish this years MLB Regular Season projections. Now when they are finally here I have to admit I am pretty satisfied with the result. I understand how silly that sounds, because we are talking about projections (the result is unknown), but the reason to my satisfaction is rather that the projections are looking pretty logical without any "human interaction". What this means is that the projections are a result of a simulation process by The Handicapper without any smoothing in the end.

Without further introduction let the numbers speak for themselves. Please post a comment if you have any questions or opinions regarding the projections.
