Angels at 89.5 seems a bit low to me. I was expecting to see more like 95 with their upgrades this off-season and getting to play the A's and Mariners so often. I would have taken the UNDER 95, but 89.5 i can't get a feel for. Any thoughts?

Atlanta over.  86.5 is low for a team that has the best pen in baseball and a top 5 rotation. Offense should be better as well as Freeman is in 2ndbaseball year and Uggla will surely not hit sub 180 til August

Does anyone know if and when the win totals are/will be up in the Vegas casinos?

Can any of the vegas locals check that out  for us?

Brandon Watson

Johnny Detroit

Tigers under.

Won 95 games last year with a weaker team?

When you look at the Pythagorean theorem, Detroit really over performed last year.  I wouldn't lean one way or another, but I don't think it's a bad number

3 that stand out to me:

1) My absolute favorite has to be Baltimore under 70.5.  How are they possibly going to win more games this year than last year?  Their pythagorean record was about 4 games worse then their actual record, and they are a worse team this year!

2)  I never thought there would be value on the Yanks over but their pythagorean record was about 100 last season, and they've added Pineda and Kuroda

3) I'm kind of stumped as to how Houston wins 63 games.  But this is essentially the same team that had a pythagoean record of 62-100 last year so maybe 62.5 is right where they should be

Bodog/Bovada had the Angels at 87.5 when they signed Pujols and Wilson. I grab the over then and I'm  glad I did since its jump 2 games. Division is very weak and Texas could be very good again but it seems like something just isnt going to be right with them in the clubhouse. Whether it be Hamiltons problems or relying to heavily on a unknown like Darvish.
