MLB Over/Unders

Posted in Baseball - 2013/04/03 - 2 Comments

I had a lost weekend this past weekend and wrote these at some point during it.  I was thinking you would have to take me on my word, but seriously, not only do I have the Mets under I have the Padres over.  If run differential counted in baseball I am pretty sure the Mets would be in 1st and the Padres in last.  Note, I would like to apologize at how skimpy the rationale behind the picks are for me this year, but I will make up for it with increased pick activity during the season.  Let’s see what I like.

  • #10  Detroit Tigers (Under 92.5)  I like Detroit’s rotation, but their closer situation is worrisome to say the least.  For those of you who watched the Red Sox on a regular basis last year, you understand how crucial a stopper is.
  • #9  San Diego Padres (Over 74.5)  So we know that Carlos Quintin will be injured in the process of opening his mail tomorrow.  The infield for San Diego is muy bueno.
  • #8  Cincinnati Reds (Under 91)
  • #7  St Louis Cardinals (Over 86)  The Cardinals can pitch, and I am becoming increasingly attuned to how that impacts season O/Us.
  • #6  Seattle Mariners (Over 77.5)
  • #5  Chicago Cubs (Over 72.5)
  • #4  New York Mets (Under 75)  Excuse me?  75 wins?  This is one of those situations which seems so obviously wrong that it has to be right.
  • #3 Kansas City Royals (Over 77.5)  When you pop this team on paper, they appear downright legit.  And then you put them all in Royal uniforms and the whole thing goes to shit.
  • #2  Atlanta Braves (Under 87.5)  Read Detroit entry
  • #1  Los Angeles Angels  (Under 91.5)  Again, legit concerns on bullpen.

  2. Kimbrel had a bad WBC which was part of a pretty awful Spring. But you are right, the point should have clarified by saying bullpen. Vinters just met with James Andrews and the Braves wound up taking bullpen guys based more on remaining options than skill (which just about every team does I know, but still)
