1. Let\u2019s First Answer Baseball\u2019s Most Pressing 2021 Global Questions <\/strong><\/p>\n
Will the Baltimore Orioles lose 100 games in 2021? <\/em><\/p>\n
No, but there isn\u2019t a team in baseball who will work harder than the Orioles to hit or surpass that number of losses. And don\u2019t count them out, they absolutely can pull that off.<\/p>\n
Will the Los Angeles Dodgers win 115 games in 2021? <\/em><\/p>\n
They certainly could, but the average fan may not be aware that for any team to win even 105 games (a .650 winning %) takes an enormous level of talent and some fortunate breaks during a long season. To win 71% of an MLB season (115 games), a baseball team would have to be extraordinarily dominant, lucky, and repeatedly beat even the best teams in their league throughout the season.<\/p>\n
