MLB Over/Unders
Normally do 10 of these guys, but Im going to just go with a few this year. Change is good, maybe 28 or 29 next year. Will update with any more that strike fancy before respective first pitches.
Twins Over 83.5 – The AL Central is looking borderline brutal these days. Salvador Perez needing TJ surg would seem to encapsulate this division well. Minnesota will continue to miss Eduardo Escobar but this roster looks entirely competent amidst a sea of mediocrity. Team almost won 80 games last year with Buxton production less than zero. Genuinely like Mejia and Perez in bullpen ready to help out. Also I do not know this for fact at all, but I would put money on Baldelli being a better game manager and players coach than Molitor.
Astros Under 96.5 – We hit on the Astros Over last year because they were seemingly a team devoid of weaknesses. IMO this cannot be said this year, especially re: pitching. Outside of Cole I trust no one in this rotation. Verlander turned 36 in February and simply cannot be counted on to replicate his stats of the previous year and a half. No McCullers and no Morton = Miley, Peacock, and McHugh. Not impressive. Reddick managed to hit .242 in that lineup last year? I think hes about done. Chirinos sexy but likely overrated.
