Recap of how the world sees the team. I would guess much higher than what seems to be soxtalk consensus:
odds to win world series: 4th shortest at 11:1 or 12:1 (borgata, draftkings, usatoday)
power rankings in MLB: 2*, 2*, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 7 (mlb.com is 2 as is bleacher report but they are both 2-3 weeks old; others are whatever current misc websites I could find-- current consensus is 4th
projected wins: #4 in AL; #7 in MLB (fangraphs)
bullpen: #2 in MLB (mlb.com)
rotation: #4 in MLB (mlb.com)
lineup: #3 in MLB (mlb.com)
I'd go with 3rd in AL behind Tampa and Toronto and #5 in MLB also behind LAD, SF
