The season is finally here, but before we start there's one last thing I have to do: record all the predictions and projections for posterity so I can review them @BanishedToPen at the end of the year. Here are the projection contenders for 2021:

And here's my annual recap of all four projection systems below plus predictions from @EWPod preview guests, @BanishedToPen writers, @batflips_nerds, and a baseball fan survey: https://t.co/1BSEv6bNEX

How good are your win predictions? Think you can beat @baseballpro, @fangraphs and @FiveThirtyEight? What about the @EWPod preview guests or @BanishedToPen writers? Definitely those chumps at @batflips_nerds, right? Last chance to enter and find out: https://t.co/yFCESAckrk

Need to catch up on what MLB teams have been up to but don't have time for lengthy previews? @BanishedToPen has you covered, with less than 250 words per team, plus super original artwork from the excellent @KenM_9: https://t.co/CpuZ2AqABW

On Sunday night, the OG @batflips_nerds crew played our annual win prediction game, and it once again got me thinking about how we react to predictions and projections. Why do we take projections so personally, and why do they hate your team?: https://t.co/84wgOYACDb

Got invited to write a couple of 2021 #MLB previews for @BanishedToPen. This week, I previewed the #MNTwins. 👇
