MLB Over/Unders – A New Twist on an Old Theme
Normally in this space we would write about a half-dozen or so season-long Over/Under picks…friend of the program Van Tran suggested he and I do a snake-draft on these this year, so below I am going to record the results of that draft and add a few thoughts when they come to me. We automatically gave ourselves Overs on our respective teams, (Mets and LAD)…I had first pick.
PD #1 – SF Giants Over 84.5
VT #2 – O’s Over 90.5
VT #3 – Tigers Under 81.5
PD #4 – StL Under 84.5 I borderline despise myself for this pick, it is as anti-sharp as a pick can get. But that doesn’t mean it wont happen…the way I rationalize the selection is Vegas was going to get enough money placed on StL to win the division that this O/U had to be in this ballpark. In a very sick way I would have preferred taking this Under @ like 79 or something.
PD #5 – Padres Under 83.5
VT #6 – LAA Under 71.5
VT #7 – Marlins Under 77.5
PD #8 – Nationals Over 66.5
PD #9 – Pirates Over 76.5
VT #10 – ATL Over 101.5
VT #11 – Astros Over 92.5
PD #12 – TOR Under 87.5
PD #13 – A’s Over 57.5
VT #14 – CWS Under 61.5
VT #15 – TB Over 85.5
PD #16 – Red Sox Over 77.5 Eno Sarris from The Athletic is way higher on the potential for the Boston rotation than essentially anyone else Ive come across, and I usually trust what he thinks. Also Alex Cora is one of like 3-5 managers in baseball that I think makes a tangible positive difference to a teams performance and results.
PD #17 – NYY Under 92.5
VT #18 – Rockies Under 60.5
VT #19 – Reds Under 82.5
PD #20 – CHC Under 84.5
PD #21 – D’backs Over 84.5
VT #22 – TEX Over 88.5
VT #23 – Brewers Under 77.5 This is going to be a race to the finish-line in my opinion…All indications point to Milwaukee being way worse this year than in the recent past. How long can the players on the field keep the boat afloat as it is sinking towards the end of the season?
PD #24 – Philly Under 90.5
PD #25 – Cleve Under 80.5
VT #26 – KC Over 73.5 This and the Milwaukee line are why Vegas is evil. Everyone knows MIL will likely be worse, so Vegas drops a lead weight on their win total and asks, “How low are you willing to go?” KC has a young, fun team that is going to be better than last year. “You want to root for their Over this year? Well lets see them win EIGHTEEN MORE GAMES! HA!”
VT #27 – Seattle Over 87.5
PD #28 – Minn Over 86.5
PD #29 – NYM Over 81.5
VT #30 – LAD Over 103.5
