The Mets over/under win total is 78.5. I say over.

I like the "over" bets on Baltimore, Oakland and Mets.
|
Ceetar Feb 22 2011 09:31 AM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
Over Rays, Mets, Giants
|
Benjamin Grimm Feb 22 2011 09:52 AM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
I think the Mets will top 78.5
|
Edgy DC Feb 22 2011 09:59 AM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
I'll over on the Rays.
|

Heavy on the Os' and Brewers' over, and the Phils' and Angels' under.
|

I'll take the over on the Pirates , this is the year they break 75 wins for only the fifth time since 1992.

Mets, Orioles over. Twins, A's under.
|
Valadius Feb 22 2011 10:38 AM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
Angels are most definitely under.
|
TheOldMole Feb 22 2011 10:40 AM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
I'd go for a big plunge on the Mets for over.
|
Benjamin Grimm Feb 22 2011 10:46 AM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
If you bet, say, $10 on the Mets to be over, what would the payout be if you won?
|
TransMonk Feb 22 2011 11:00 AM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
Over on Mets, Nats and Bucs
|
Ashie62 Feb 22 2011 11:16 AM Re: Vegas Win Totals |

Put up $10, get back $20 or lose it all.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Feb 22 2011 11:20 AM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
Most start out at -110, or wager 11 to win 10. The final payout odds may depend on the total number of over/under bets-- depending on the sportsbook, they may end up adjusting the payout odds slightly, rather than moving the line, if big bets come in under or over.

LWFS has it right. I didn't know this until I bet $20 on the Jets to exceed 9.5 wins. The ticket said that the pay out would be $38.50.

duan Feb 22 2011 04:45 PM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
of course you could do it spread betting style and get a 'unit' for every win over 78.5 (or lose a unit for every win under - they don't tell you about that so quick!)

I like the Under on the Phillies, yeah they are loaded but alot has to go right to win that many games.
|
HahnSolo Feb 22 2011 08:43 PM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
Lots of folks high on the Orioles, but I don't see them making an astronomical jump. 54 games against BOS, TAM, NYY. They're at best the fourth best in that division, and I'm pretty sure Toronto will finish ahead of them as well.
|
Ceetar Feb 23 2011 07:52 AM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
I agree on the Orioles being a tad overrated. Not sure they can't win 75, but I'd lean towards under. People are overrating (Hi Michael Kay!) the impact of Showalter.
|
G-Fafif Feb 23 2011 08:34 AM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
Over/Under for taking them one game at a time is 162.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Feb 23 2011 09:38 AM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
Michael Kay might be chalking up any improvement to Buck Showalter, I think most everyone else might, y'know, be looking at the roster. There are some ifs, but they added Derrek Lee, Vlad Guerrero, JJ Hardy and Mark Reynolds to a solid core, some young offensive talent, and waves of young pitching maturing right now.

That's fair, I'd actually forgotten how much they did this offseason. Hard to keep up with the other teams, particularly junior circle teams, sometimes. Still dont' think they sniff .500, but that's not too bad.
|
bmfc1 Feb 23 2011 11:19 AM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
OVER--Mets, Blue Jays, White Sox
|
PiggiesTomatoes Feb 24 2011 07:19 PM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
Over: Mets, Rays

1) If you've already submitted O/U re-check the chart to make sure I've gotten them right 2) We'll leave this open for additions, changes, etc until about a week before opening day 3) We'll drag this up at the end of the season so we can mock all the wrong guesses 4) Winner receives nothing whatsoever Updated 2/26 10:55

i'll probably think about filling otu the chart completely if mockability later is a possibility.
|
Benjamin Grimm Feb 25 2011 08:45 AM Re: Vegas Win Totals |
Okay, let me add a few:

Yeah, I saw some estimate that knocked the Cards O/U down like 5 wins after Wainwright went down. We'll stick with the posted numbers at the top of this thread since it's the same for everyone.

On FAN Saturday, Evan Roberts was talking to Sandy Alderson and said that the win total was 78.5. Evan asked if we should bet the over and Sandy said "absolutely."
