Estes believes Giants’ projected win total ‘ridiculous’ initially appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
Following a franchise-best 107-win season in 2021, the Giants’ over/beneath for wins this season is relatively shocking.
After Buster Posey introduced his retirement, San Francisco misplaced each Kevin Gausman and Kris Bryant in free company and all three of these departures possible performed a task within the conservative betting line.
With six days till Opening Day, our partner, PointsBet, presently offers the Giants an 84.5 over/beneath win whole for the 2022 season.
NBC Sports activities Bay Space’s Giants analyst Shawn Estes actually doesn’t agree with the projection.
“Wow, where’s the respect? 107 wins last year and predicted to win around 84, 85 games this year, that seems a little ridiculous,” Estes mentioned on the Giants Season Preview present. “The rotation is better than last year, the bullpen was the best bullpen in baseball last year, they’re all coming back. The offense is one of the best offenses in baseball. Yes, they’re missing Buster Posey, but a 23-game swing by not having Buster Posey? I don’t think so.
“You may have the DH this yr, which goes to permit Gabe Kapler to get a number of the veteran guys off their ft defensively each now and again. This crew, at worst, will win 88-90 video games.”
The Giants didn’t make any huge splashes this offseason, keeping most of the same roster together for the upcoming season. After re-signing both Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt, San Francisco re-signed pitchers Anthony DeSclafani and Alex Wood earlier than finally signing starting pitcher Carlos Rodon and outfielder Joc Pederson in free company after the MLB lockout ended.
