NOTES:

The Goons have their work cut out for them this year. Striking out in free agency has left some significant holes that they'll have to fill internally. It's unclear who their 2nd arm is behind Jeff Ronchetti, who's still good enough to win them  a game or two on his own, but he's gonna need some help if the Goons are to advance to the playoffs. The top candidates to follow Ronchetti on the mound are Ryan Hutchings or Patrick Hennessy, but both of their status's are murky entering the Palooza week, as Hennessy is dealing with injury and Hutchings is rumored to be taking a step back. Beyond those two they could try 2nd year player Connor Viglianti on the mound. Their bats are inconsistent, but if they are on the ceiling for this lineup is quite high. 5 of the 6 spots have the ability to go deep at any time. They'll be longshots in this one, but if they can plan out and execute Ronchetti's innings properly and the lineup can get some slug, they'll have a shot.

Odds: +170 to win, +145 to reach title game, +105 to make playoffs
