Seems like more than just Acuna and Albies went gangbuster so that win total was off
Looks like I'll have 7 of the 10 playoff teams correct though

I didn’t get in this thread, but I think I had us pegged at 78 in another one. What did I miss? Acuña being an MVP-caliber player in the 2nd half, team defense (thanks Dansby, Ron Washington, and better analytics), Folty taking a step forward, Newcomb’s big first half, Neck Boogie, and Anibal the Canibal (I expected Ani to be good but not nearly the presence he ended up being).

I never got the whole "we don't need prospects, we need real MLB players" line of thinking. Every single MLB player started out as a prospect. Sure, the attrition rate is high, but prospects turn into stars all the time and that is exactly what happened this year.
