As always, the first prediction will be team record and the winner will be the closest to the actual winning percentage if no one gets the exact record. If that is tied we go tiebreakers. You do not have to pick 162 games for the record but probably easiest to use 162.
1st Tiebreaker is team ERA Last season the Pirates team ERA was 5.08 THat was higher thAn 2020's 4.68 but lower than 2019's 5.18
2nd tiebreaker will team home runs . In 2019 the team hit 163 HR's and last season they hit 124.
Predictions accepted until 1 hour before the Pirates opening game. That should be late afternoon on April 7. You amy also edit your prediction until that time.
This is not a discussion thread. Prediction sholuld look like this (not a real prediction): JAL 162 0 2.17 300 That makes it easy for me to copy and put into order.
