20 teams have a betting line over .500.   Something’s gotta give there.    

Not really.  Add up all the totals and divide by 30 teams and you get exactly 30.  So it could work out.

Of the 20 teams over .500, 14 of them are between 30-30 and 33-27 so barely over .590.

I think Phillies or cubs may be the best values there

To take the over?

I’ll go under Tampa

under Houston

over Washington

over CWS

under Arizona.

Yea. Really like cubs over there.

Reds over. I expect them to be the surprise team of the NL. 

Orioles under. My guess is we win only 18 or 19, especially playing so many games against the Yankees, Rays, Blue Jays, and Nationals.

I very much doubt 20 teams will be .500+.    If I were looking to make some money off the over/under, I’d probably bet the under on a group of teams.

I have a friendly bet that the Orioles will win more than 25 games.

Sometimes I wonder if the O's pitching staff was so bad because of the tipping of pitches through tech. With the league at least giving lip service to it. Maybe all the homers O's pitching gives up will subside. One can hope I guess.

Really? Are you sure it had nothing to do with the terrible talent we were trotting out there daily?

Watch Hays and Mountcastle tear it up this year and we get some average-ish pitching and guys like Ruiz and Sisco figure out major league hitting...this could be a .500 team if everything goes right and a bunch of stuff goes wrong for other teams. I wouldn’t count on it in a regular 162 game season but 60 games is pretty short and baseball is a funny game.

 

im not saying I would bet on it or anything lol...just seems like a possibility.

Hence I said "Sometimes I wonder". You can't just write it off like some teams weren't using tech to cheat. We just don't know how many.

O's should to look into using a Caesar cipher just to be sure.

Tbh, I'd take the under on the Phillies; over on the Braves in that division.

Gabriel Ynoa, Dan Straily, Aaron Brooks and David Hess say differently.  There are more with 6.00-10.00 ERA guys there that I didn't bother to list.  I can write it off when we managed 2-3 guys that were league average (Means, Bundy and Cashner) and the others flat out stunk.  They were bad. Plain and simple.  If they're cheating, its not only being done when Aaron Brooks is on the mound.
