2013 MLB season: Which will be higher?

Cast your vote

The Yankees won 95 games last year; the Mets lost 88. Both teams are a little worse off, so the Yanks' win total should creep down while the Mets' losses could creep up. It's going to be close. Will the Yankees win more than the Mets lose?

Ichiro Suzuki slugged .390 last year while David Wright's on-base was .391. Thing is, as a Yankee, Ichiro slugged .454. Does the short porch boost Ichiro's clout, or does he settle in around .375? Wright's career OBP is .381. Will Wright's on-base percentage be higher than Ichiro's slugging percentage?

Ike Davis popped 32 homers last year after being mired in a miserable slump. Mariano Rivera is 43 but plans to go out strong and should reach 35-40 saves. Tough one. Does Mariano Rivera save more games than Davis hits homers?

Brett Gardner could steal 20. He could steal 40. Heck, he could swipe 70. A-Rod? Who knows. He may return at the All-Star break, or he may not return at all. Go with your gut. Can Garnder swipe more bags than A-Rod logs games played?

Nick Swisher, batting cleanup for Cleveland, has never hit fewer than 21 home runs or more than 35 in a full season. Curtis Granderson, who hit 43 last year, should be back in early May, and there's no reason to think he won't clear the wall with consistency when he returns. So Swisher gets to take the early lead, but will he hold on? Can Granderson out-homer Swisher after missing time?

In 77 career games at shortstop, Eduardo Nunez has made 18 errors. With Jeter hobbled, we'll see how much Nunez the Yankees can tolerate. Vernon Wells hit 11 home runs in 77 games last season. Playing time will decide this one. Will Wells homer more than Nunez commits an error?

CC Sabathia can hit, and with more interleague play, this might be an easy choice. In 109 career plate appearances, CC has three home runs. In 1,132 career plate appearances, Ruben Tejada has two home runs. This will be a riveting race. Will Sabathia out-homer Tejada?

The Astros lost 107 games last season and may be worse off this year with their move to the rugged AL West. Albert Pujols, who knocked in 105 in 2012, has Trout in front of him and Josh Hamilton behind him. One of these numbers could reach 120. Will Pujols' RBI total be greater than the Astros' loss column?

Jose Reyes will be off and running at the top of that Toronto lineup. He reached 40 steals with Miami last season and his career high is 78, but that was six years ago. Jose Bautista only played in 92 games last season and hit 27 homers. In the two seasons before, Joey Bats hit 97 home runs. If he's healthy he could come close to 50. Will Bautista homer more than Reyes successfully steals?

Mike Trout stole 49 bases last year and wasn't called up until May. Miguel Cabrera swatted 44 homers in his Triple Crown campaign. Will Trout stay healthy with that all-out-all-the-time approach? Will he steal more bases than Cabrera hits home runs?

Oh, Adam Dunn. He will either strike out (MLB-leading 222 last year), walk (MLB-leading 105 last year) or hit a home run (41 in 2012). Why can't he just ground out to second like everyone else? It's just not his way. He hit .204 last year, so the strikeouts are looking pretty good. Will Dunn have a higher batting average than strikeout total?
