As usual I am playing some MLB Win Totals this year. Last year 4-2 on these and the previous year 4-1. This is what I have so far and in all cases I got better numbers as they have changed from the open. However, they are all playable still at current numbers. Your numbers will vary depending on your book and Vig will vary a lot from Book to Book..
New York Mets Under 72 WinsArizona Diamondbacks Over 86.5 WinsPittsburgh Pirates Over 73.5 Wins

Mr. Shaker,
How are you doing sir? Besides MLB Win Totals are you going to be getting down on MLB Futures, such as teams to win the World Series, Pennant, and/or Divisions? Please let me know. Thanks.
Mr. Mendez

Hey Shake i got mets 73.5 but other 2 r exactly as urs.. bol this yr in mlb.
Thanks Shake! Very much appreciate your pay service as well as your free plays and tweets. BOL this year! Cheers.
Writeup corrected here as I was in the midst of doing too many things on a related article. Better than average run production for this team but they do play in an OVER Venue which helps of course. The outfield is the strength of this team as far as that goes. Bullpen is solid as well. Starting pitching is young and thin though and that is going to be the problem here. Only 5 teams had a higher ERA than Toronto last year and they have not improved their lot. To compete in the very good AL East, you have to have better throwers than the Jays have and I see them finishing in 4th place only ahead of the O's.
Toronto Bluejays Under 82.5 Wins
Unlike last year I will have 2 Unit Win Totals this year. The DBacks last year was very nice. My final play is below as the Indians were Over-Achievers last year with the 23rd Best ERA in Baseball and 16th in Runs scored while winning 80 games. With KC looking at a good year, the Tigers dominent, wins will be stolen from this team. Starting pitching is a mixed bag of perhaps Over-The Hiller's and unproven or mediocre youngsters. They do have some promise in the Bullpen with Perez and Pestano, but that is about it, and depth there is going to be a Booger there..
Cleveland Indians Under 78.5 Wins
There hasnt been any less pub about a team than the Chicago White Sox. They still send a quality arm to the mound most nights. Even though the other teams have improved, the White Sox still have the second best pitching in the division and they should be viewed as an over.....Last I saw was 74.........Has it changed and do you agree?
Billy, I have 74.5 to 75 most places and I just don't like what's going on in Chicago. In fact "Gun to Head" I would play UNDER. Jackson, Buehrle gone, Floyd and Danks off poor seasons for them (Combined 20-25 with 4.30 ERA) and Peavy has not been as good since coming over to AL and is Injury prone. He goes down, bad news. This team was 18th in runs scored last year, don't see that improving, and they have a New Manager. Rios is also going to have to step up his game off a very poor year.I do think the Pen will be better but perhaps overworked later in the year. I am staying away there and think the number posted is pretty fair. I do think they have potential if Danks and Floyd perform and Peavy stays healthy..Just too many question marks I think..
