Vote and then post how many games you think the Sox will win in 2020.  The assumption based in this poll is the Sox play all 60 games.

37-23, tied with Twins 

[MeanJoeCrede]

34-26, better than the Twins and the Indians

[knightni]

35-25

As long as their 'pen holds up.

[TheFutureIsNear]

36-24...don’t doubt this team can score 300+ runs in a 60 game season, just a matter of not letting up more than that. 
 

Cease, Lopez, G. Gonzalez, Rodon, Colome, Herrera...I can see how well the season goes hinging on those arms. Unless someone else steps up

For the record, with a 60 game season, each game represents 2.7 games in a 162 game season.  Starting at the .500 mark, here is the equivalency of wins in a 60 game season versus 162:

30=81 wins

31=83.7

32-86.4

33=89.1

34=91.8

35=94.5

36=97.2

37=99.9

38=102.6

Thanks for this. I know it's a weird season but I feel like a lot of guesses I've seen are way overshooting the amount of wins the best teams will have

Yeah, I think if we were talking about a full season, the 86-88 win range seems about right to me, which would be around 32-33.  I think the schedule will be more friendly by leaving out the east and west coast teams entirely, so 33-34 wins seems about right to me.  So far, the offense has impressed me more than I thought it would, as well as having Carlos Rodon seemingly ready to go, even without Kopech.  I also think the depth of pitchers behind the main guys have made solid statement as to being ready for whatever happens as this season goes on.  Guys like Lambert, Heuer and Johnson looked ready to go.  Dunning also seems like a guy who is ready to go if the guys in front of his can't go.
