Mets 2019 Over/Under

BetOnline.Ag's odds have the Mets' over/under at 84.5, tied for the fifth-best in the National League with the Brewers and Phillies.

In the NL, that puts the Mets behind the Dodgers (94.5), Cardinals (88.5), Cubs (88.5), and Nationals (87.5).


Is this a reasonable line?

I guess so. As a bettor, I'm prob taking the under, though.

Have to wait until Harper isn't officially a Met.

I guess betting now means you lay down your money before the rosters are set. So if you're Philly, you take the over and hope for Harchado I guess.



I would take the over as of today.



I think that the Mets are realistically about 86-87 wins. That will change depending on what the rest of the division does between now and Opening Day.

I would take the over.



I was in AC recently and saw the Mets had opened at 40-1 to win the WS - odds I would have taken. They were listed at 22-1 and i was going to make a small wager for fun. When I went to the counter I was informed it had moved to 11-1. I passed on that (still 22-1 elsewhere, including Fanduel, if you are looking)

What's the Over/Under on the number of injuries, diseases, or medical conditions that we've never ever heard of before?

Who will be this year's Valley Fever?

It really is just amazing. And not just that they are rare, but they absolutely wipe out a career. I've been watching baseball since the early 80's. But in the last five years watching the Mets, I learned about:



1. Valley Fever. Career ending

2. Spinal Stenosis. Career ending.

3. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Not career ending, but debilitating.

4. Hand foot and mouth disease. Couple of days.

5. Heel calcification. 6-8 months or forever. Who knows.

6. Strained finger ligaments. A start or two.

On the positive side, this past season was the Mets' 57th straight with no outbreaks of Ebola in the clubhouse.

Re: Mets 2019 Over/Under

I'd have said 85. But barring the Nationals re-signing Harper, I'm much more worried about the Phillies and Braves.

Maybe. But you're ignoring the little talked-about addition to the Mets medical staff this year which will nip any potential Ebola outbreaks* in the bud: Dr. Gregory House









* Also: the Plague, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Sleeping Sickness, West Nile, and Kuru

Re: Mets 2019 Over/Under

How are the Braves below 84.5 in this market? Is the Hotlanta betting action that slow?



I hope for over. I feel the under.

Until my deathbed, I'll remember Mike Francesa referring to Ike Davis' valley fever as "jungle fever."



Why did we wake up one morning and decide that we wanted to fill all our positions of authority with sub-literates?

I thought we decided to go with Doctor Nick Riviera this year?

This.



This team hasn't done enough to break through in what's going to be a very tough division. And frankly, I don't have a lot of faith in Callaway. He looked plain overmatched at times last year.
