We're on pace for 109 wins, and I think we can exceed it. We should be even better in the second half.

Only 2 things matter: winning the division and winning it all.
If you consider the teams that we play against for the most part, yes we will win a lot of games but are we that good? Most of the teams playing today pretty much suck. Lets go Sox!
It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
A Red Sox season of 110 wins falls within the realm of possibility as does a season of 98 wins.
Systematic projections have the Red Sox falling somewhere in between:

Regular posters to this forum know that I place great weight on metrics that show the Mariners to be a significant tier below the Astros, Red Sox and Yankees.
The Mariners face a daunting task in a division with perhaps baseball's best team and three clubs that entered today's games at a combined even .500.
If we stay healthy and take them one game at a time, we should have a good Season.
A return to health and effectiveness by Wright, Pomeranz and pedroia would really push us over the top,
