Season Wins

Prof.Hinsley · Mar 5, 2010

It's that time of year again! As I've stated in other threads discussing season wins, I love the Giants chances of having a great year. They have one of the best starting rotations in the game and they will be putting up more runs on offense this year. Pablo Sandival is a stud, Fred Lewis will hopefully turn it up this year and Uribe/Sanchez will produce.

For right now, this is what I wagered, but I may add more in a bit.

4* San Francisco Giants Over 82.5 Wins (-105)

I also like the discussions about the Mariners over so:

2* Seattle Mariners Over 83.5 Wins (-130)

Do you know what the O/U for the Nationals is? I'm think there will be value in the over, but would like to see the number

wannabewhale · Mar 6, 2010

70ish

RenoChazz · Mar 6, 2010

I was hoping for a high 60ish number like 68

Prof.Hinsley · Mar 6, 2010

My local has it at 70.5. I do like this play as well, however I lost last year betting Washington over. I got burned which makes me more cautious now. They did make some improvements and they will be interesting to watch. I may lay off of them but haven't decided.

Cardinals over 88...easy $$$$$

RenoChazz · Mar 7, 2010

My book here in Reno had the Nats at 63 on the paper but when I got to the writer it was up to 69 so I jumped on it 69, I was really looking for anything under 70.

thekeyman · Mar 7, 2010

there are much better bets out there than the NATIONALS,they really suck so i don't really see why you guys are all high on them going over

Prof.Hinsley · Mar 7, 2010

As a Cubs fan, I really hope you are wrong on the Cards over... Ha!

Washington isn't that terrible of a bet in my opinion because the public will remember the woes of last year and be all over the under (my guess, anyway). They have a potent offense and they did make some improvements in pitching. I expect them to win right around 73-76 games. I'm not too high on this wager which is why I didn't make it a play, but its not a terrible bet in my opinion.

Any opinions on SF or SEA?

i really like SF OVER,i believe they give the dodgers all they can this season,.....no opinion on SEATTLE at all

2 plays that I like from an eyeball test are
Toronto Bluejays UNDER 70.5
Boston Red Sox UNDER 94.5
I should have time tomorrow to actually research a little further and I'll throw a few plays out, so don't take these 2 as official plays as of yet.

lakersyankees · Mar 8, 2010

Love the Giants over 82, pitching wins games and they finally have a little more offense than past years. Also like the yankees over 94.5. Considering the Rays under 89.5, angels over 84, and Reds under 79.5

donneiflapjacks · Mar 8, 2010

Also on the wagon with the Giants, just seems like too good of a team to not get upper eighties. Other play that I like, not to go against you lakers, but Reds O 78.5. Yes Volquez is out til all-star time, but a team that mustered up 78 wins last year, has the ability for a 85 win team this year. Harang, Arroyo, Cueto with a wild card in Bailey and M. Owings possibly the 5th spot is a very decent rotation. Throw the possiblity of Aroldis Chapman stepping in sometime this season could help. The lineup is clearly better than last year. I love the addition of Cabrera in the infield, and if Bruce and Votto stay healthy, they have a nice 123 shot with them and Philips. Only 2 plays for me, Giants over 82.5 and Reds over 78.5.

wannabewhale · Mar 8, 2010

Everywhere I see Reds they are 80.5 or higher

donneiflapjacks · Mar 8, 2010

must of been recent moves, the local book I use is a large group so everything done on a webiste like a normal betus etc... and it's O 78.5 -125. I personally think they reach 85 wins, but maybe ask around the forum and see if anyone sees a better line at other books.

Prof.Hinsley · Mar 8, 2010

Good points on the Reds, Donnie. Donnie and I use the same service and its still at 78.5. I may jump on this. As you point out, if Bruce and Votto can manage to stay healthy, they may be a force to reckon with.

my friend is the biggest Reds fan-I asked him to forcast their record--not telling him the o/u number--he said...
87

He's obviously biased though, but you never know their pitching looks good

wannabewhale · Mar 8, 2010

very biased--but the year before he said 75

thekeyman · Mar 9, 2010

last season i had the reds under and i had to wait until the last 3 games of the year to win that bet....i don't think they will have a bad strech this year like they did last .....after the all star break is where i got lucky as they could not win a game....at least thats the way i think it went
