Vegas over under for Orioles wins 76.5

[crowmst3k!]

I agree with the over-under. I just see a lot of Orange kool-aid drinkers on here. I think the O's offseason is inexcusable.

Nestor: still a douche.

[NewMarketSean]

I take the over.

What do you guys think? A lot of optimism on this site. Is Vegas totally off? Are you going to bet the farm on the over??

Vegas sets the lines to get even betting on both sides. All they know is what gamblers are likely to bet.

BobbyV believes. In Luck. Bad Luck. His.

I'll take 96, not 76 wins. We're going to have a great season.

In a division where two of the largest metropolitan areas are represented, do you think it odd that the over would be higher for Yankees and Red Sox than it would be for a team that does not have that level of population gambling on them? Do you find it odd that many bettors would chase the team that did spend the most in the off-season (Toronto). I am somewhat surprised at the support for Tampa though. Does anyone have some insight there?

Smart gamblers will focus on undervalued success. After CC and co. left TB the other year, the media started saying their goodbye's to their unpredicted success (sound familiar : ) . IMO, Vegas learned their lesson when it comes to TB. Anyone have last years over/under comparison?

I wonder how many people took the under on Houston in 2012. If you believe in the 54-54-54 idea, Houston went 1-53 in that middle 54.

I think that only applies to Major League teams.

Yeah-that is the first team I looked at-with Texas, Angels and an improved Seattle, ouch. Houston ownership is worst in baseball.

Ah, good. A fresh take on matters.

They're rebuilding. Spending money just to put a team out there that will win 65 games instead 55 is pointless. The only reason they keep trading away salary is to bring in more talent.

Oh, I agree but their ownership is really bad regardless of that. Have you been to their spring training facility? It has the same feeling as a morgue:)
