Baseball Prospectus’ PECOTA standings project the Yankees to win 89.7 games and for the Mets to win 88.9. The projections, which came out Monday, envision both as playoff teams.

PECOTA's projections have the National League division winners as the Braves (92.4-69.6 aggregate record), Cubs (90.6-71.4 in an NL Central where there are no other teams at .500 or better), and Dodgers (103.8-58.2).

The Toronto Blue Jays finished last in the American League East last year at 74-88. However, the Baseball Prospectus forecast for 2025 is a little more promising.
