[GWarner27]

somewhat fascinated by the LAD rotation consisting of all LHP besides Maeda and Bolsinger who will open the season on the DL. Think Yadi's thumb is a big deal for StL, who I was looking to take the over on if the number came low thanks to that injury and all the CHC love

 

[cubsker]

that 89 they opened the cubs at was an awful number

 

[tipyerbartender1]

that 89 they opened the cubs at was an awful number

Which way?

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Oh forget it. I think 94 is an awful number for the Cubs.

 

[cubsker]

If you're betting under, you're going to be really praying that one of their starting five get hurt.

We'll see. Tough division, youngsters, 95 is a lot of winning.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Arrietta should bounce.

 

[GWarner27]

last year they won so many games on Maddon devil magic i can't go against them again

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Tribe number is perfect. I won't believe they can hit until they hit.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Kind of like the Tigers over 81. Gut feeling.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Twins number is right. Royals won't sniff 84 wins.

 

[GWarner27]

Kind of like the Tigers over 81. Gut feeling.

like it too, but the pitching lol

Tribe number is perfect. I won't believe they can hit until they hit.

i still don't get why brantley waited so long to have surgery

 

[cubsker]

Arrietta should bounce.

I wouldn't count on much of one.

 

[BJPLAYER]

Work to do but thinking

Red Sox under. Pitching is suspect
Yankees under. Starting pitching is suspect
Mets under. Because they r the mets
Toronto under. Pitching suspect
Rangers over. Solid team
KC under. WS hangover
TB over. Great starters
Seattle under. Pitching won't hold up
Nats over. Very good team
Zona over. Got much better

 

[GWarner27]

tough to make the WS hangover argument for KC after it should have affected them last year. Also don't forget Dusty is in charge in WSH now

 

[cubsker]

Dusty has a pretty good year one history

Tanaka,Eovaldi,Severino,Pineda and CC or Nova is suspect. Not a Nova fan and CC will have to re-invent himself but that's one of the best starting rotations in the American League. The Yankees can surprise this year. Injuries like any other team will be the determing factor and I will give you that.
As for RSW this year I'm doing something different. I'm not looking at any Unders (I usually play only Unders) in the National League you have the Phillies, Cinn, Atl,Milw, SD and one or two more which the top half should feed on. I understand it's build in the # but there's just so high they can go. So this year I'm looking at Overs in the National League.

The American League is where the Unders come in there really is parity like I've never seen before. I'll go as far as saying the American League may produce maybe one or none 90 game winners. Of course like every other sport Injuries will play a huge role but you can't anticipate injuries.

Good Luck this year and may the baseball gods sprinkle a little lucky dust apond us. First ST bet yesterday Minn +146 Winner it could be a signrayer

 

[GWarner27]

i'm also interested in NYY, old as always but Girardi manages his team to wins and I am not impressed by BOS and wouldn't be shocked if TOR came back to earth

 

[Tout Hater]

Reds u70 -135
Angels u80.5 -130
Brewers u70 -120
Yankees o86 -110
Rangers o83.5 -140

 

[GWarner27]

holy juice

 

[Gyno]

Angels win 73

The Red Sox have an ace that will give them a ton of innings and a lights out bullpen. The Royals have kind of shown you can get by with only asking 5 innings of starters when your pen gives up nothing.

Blue Jays pitching is suspect and I wouldn't count on them in the playoffs, but that lineup is going to guide them thru the regular season.

I disagree on the Rangers. They are a team with suspect pitching, imo. And they don't have the bullpen to cover up bad starting pitching.

I disagree on the Mariners too. They have a pretty solid 1/2. Miley and Karns are solid 1.5-2 WAR middle of the rotation starters and they still have Iwakuma and a youngster in Paxton. Not my favoirte bullpen, but it should adequate.

I disagree on Arizona. Greinke is going from a pitchers park with a great catcher to a hitters park with a poor pitch framer. Don't be surprised with some struggles from him (and mentally, how is he?) They didn't improve offensively, but they did add two solid pitchers.

Agree that unders are coming in the AL and I do agree that the Yanks pitching is solid. Im more concerned with that lineup.

 

[askias]

I loved the Braves at under 67 wins, not so much at the under 65.5 wins, the total now stands at. This is a truly terrible team that will be fun to fade all year.

it's tough because even if they're terrible that's not a ton of games to win
