I made a couple of basic wagers online, as outlined in this post: http://www.ceetar.com/optimisticmetsfan ... -the-year/
2009 MLB Regular Season Wins - Team Must Play 160 Games
Atlanta Braves
Over 84.5
I think the Braves are more talented than people think. Barring injury.
2009 MLB Regular Season Wins - Team Must Play 160 Games
New York Mets
Over 89.5
This should be an easy one. The Mets are obviously seriously talented.
2009 MLB Regular Season Wins - Team Must Play 160 Games
New York Yankees
Under 95.5
I think the Yankees have a lot of issues, especially if Pettitte is old and wears down, Joba is restricted, Wang is not quite back to form and A.J. Is the new Pavano. Especially if A-Rod isn’t fully recovered.
2009 MLB Regular Season Wins - Team Must Play 160 Games
Philadelphia Phillies
Under 88.5
The Phillies got lucky with their bullpen and had a dozen guys over perform last year. They’re a pretty soft team in general and I think they mail it in early this year.
Cole Hamels - Total Regular Season Wins
Regular Season Wins
Under 15.5 (-135)
Hamels has already started injured. 16 is a lot of wins, especially for a team that won’t top 85 wins.
Jose Reyes - Total Regular Season Hits
Regular Season Hits
Over 188.5 (-115)
This might be the easiest bet. Reyes is only getting better.
2009 World Series Championship
New York Mets
6 – 1
Because I had to.
