Hundred Wins: Which Teams Have a Shot in '08?
Every now and then we'll see a team that will finish with a 100-win season.ย We saw the Cardinals in 2005, the Cardinals and Yankees in 2004, and we'll even see a team with 100 losses, or 105 like the D'Backs in 2004.
Through about a month of this year's season, here's a list of teams to look out for as possible 100 game winners.
Boston Red Sox:

Sox Eyeing Offensive Help โ๏ธ
On pace for 101 wins so far, the Sox are leading the AL East by 3.5 games and are 2008's best shot at a 100 win team.ย They have an offense that can hit and a pitching staff that can pitch--not to mention that they have no competition in the AL East if the Yankees keep playing the way they are.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim:
The team from two cities also has a very legitimate shot at 100 wins.ย The Angels have the second highest batting average in the league (behind the Red Sox.)ย The only thing that could hamper their effort is their pitching; the Angels' staff ERA sits at a mediocre 4.30 right now.ย
St. Louis Cardinals:
Its hard to go against a team that's done it two times in the past five years and is on pace to do it again.ย The Cards boast the 3rd best batting average in the league (behind the Braves and Diamondbacks) and the third best staff ERA in the league (also, behind the Braves and the Diamondbacks.)ย
However, you need to look at the teams they've played.ย The only team they have played that, as of the writing of this article, has a record of above .500 is the Houston Astros.ย If the Cards can prove that they can beat good teams, they can put forth a 100 win effort.ย
Colorado Rockies:
Last year's NL Champion is now on pace for 103 losses.ย As a die hard Phillies fan, I just feel it necessary to point that out.ย
