Optimist or pessimist?

The season is young, but we've gotten a taste of what this team is.  Heading into the season, I think they'll win 85 games.  However, I think they're more likely to win an extra five than lose an extra five.

What say you and why?

My partly serious, partly tongue in cheek, prediction of "93 wins, barring injury" makes clear that with a gun to my head I take the Under.

Always good to start the season with a sweep. However, it is the Royals…. This series hasn’t alleviated my concerns about the offense yet. Lots of players left on base.

I was a bit on the low end with this team and predicted another sub-.500 season, somewhere around 77 or so wins. I think if I'm wrong, I'm more likely wrong on the low end. I think the Twins are more likely to be a 82 win team than a 72 win team, I guess. That might be damning with faint praise though.
