There is no question that Washington is going to be AWFUL this year. I'll second this "safest bet on the board" vote. This division could be pretty difficult and with Nick Johnson's health issues I just don't see very many weapons.
Agree. Just went to play it and it went back to 97 flat...although it's -115 instead of -125. I'll wait.
Damnit. Down to 96.5 U-105.
Yanks have no starters left. Not sure why you expect it to go back up again.Damnit. Down to 96.5 U-105.
I didn't expect it to go up necessarily. I just didn't realize it would drop more. I haven't followed spring training and such, thus the thread. The Yanks were on my radar because I like to short teams that are at a premium, and they always are.Yanks have no starters left. Not sure why you expect it to go back up again.Damnit.

I would still hammer the #### out of this as they really have no pitching.I didn't expect it to go up necessarily. I just didn't realize it would drop more.

Alright I will. At least the juice has gone down, that's a plus.I would still hammer the #### out of this as they really have no pitching.I didn't expect it to go up necessarily.

Yeah, Washington scares me just in the fact that it's abundantly clear to everybody that they are horrible. Well, that under is likely at a premium -- has to be. I'd like more value than that.
I'll change these as necessary, but below are ballpark numbers on what "vegas" would put each team's win total at. Give us your input. Who do you think is being under or overrated here?
Arizona 79 78.5 O-125 79 over
Atlanta 82 82.5 O-125 83 over (number is dead on though)
Baltimore 74 O-125 74.5 under
Boston 91 pass
Chicago Cubs 84 uuuuuuuuunder
Chicago WS 88 U-125 87.5 pass, too tight
Cincinnati 77 75.5 O-125 76 over
Cleveland 86 86.5 over
Colorado 76 U-125 way over
Detroit 89 under
Florida 78 77 O-125 over
Houston 79 looks right
Kansas City 67 U-125 over
LA Angels 90 89 O-125 under
LA Dodgers 88 under
Milwaukee 81 over
Minnesota 84 84.5 U-125 pass
NY Mets 90 89 O-125 pass
NY Yankees 97 97.5 U-125 96.5 looks right 95-97 wins
Oakland 85 U-125 over
Philadelphia 88 88.5 pass, dead on
Pittsburgh 72 73 O-125 73.5 over
San Diego 84 U-125 pass
San Francisco 81 80.5 U-125 80 smidge over
Seattle 79 78 O-125 78.5 pass
St. Louis 85 84.5 U-120 pass, looks right
Tampa Bay 67 over -- thinking 70-71
Texas 81 80.5 O-125 81 pass
Toronto 87 87.5 O-125 under
Washington 67 67.5 U-125 under, 62-63
I'm right there myself (dime) for the same reasons. I want 97 though...Love totals, keeps me away from mostjust threw a dime on yankees u97 -115F NY
daily plays. You have the whole season to be "right", and it IS fun to have a vested interest in every Yankees loss for instance.Not that I disagree with the over, because I think the offense will carry them, but their pitching is still horrid, and not counting on Prior or Wood makes absolutely no difference.The White Sox will play very very closely to that number, Danks has pitched well in the Spring and has emerged as the 5th starter. Their bullpen is young but they are far from bad as is the back of their rotation. They do, however, play in a tough division. But the question remains, how much as Cleveland really improved? Will Detroit play as well as they did last year? How will Minnesota fare without Liriano? Should be interesting.

I like it, although it has dropped to 80.What do you mean about Zito?Bet your wife on the Giants under. Their lineup is garbage. Zito's peripherals are all headed south, and the rest of their rotation is even worse with the exception of Matt Cain.Look at their lineup, look at their pitching, and explain to me how they'll score more runs than they'll give up this year.

Just trying to clarify, people tend to use different terminology around here.

I miss having a local. 
Right. I actually was going to post that this was a big future bet for me....but I do have a local, so it's on account, not part of my actual bankroll, well, sorta.With the bulk of the good offshore books closing, my options are limited, so when I see something I like, I may be more apt to hammer it.You'll be seeing a lot of run line parlays from me this yearJust trying to clarify, people tend to use different terminology around here.

crosseyed level homer here, sonny -- I would avoid.
Hey buddy, instead of throwing stones, offer up your opinion, you are as bad as liberals who call out conservatives on issues and then offer no solution.How can you rationalize that KC will regress from their win % under after the Dayton Moore hire? I would like to hear your argument, oh wise one......
Step away from the politics, bueno.
I agree with Guru. 67 wins is right about what they are going to finish at.The division is too tough and Gil Meche is their ace. They will be within 1 or 2 games of 67 either way.guru_007 said:
So did Sabathia break something or what? Anybody?
Arm bruise. Is that how you spell bruise? Looks weird.
I agree with you - I don't get the Cleveland love - heck they may not even be the 3rd best team in their own division.
Name three guys in their bullpen without looking onlineI like Cleveland this year
I play a lot of rotisserie.....still can't do it. Borowski, Betancourt?Name three guys in their bullpen without looking onlineI like Cleveland this year
Are you a Giants fan by chance?
Duly noted...
