Looking Back on Some Baseball Bets

Before the regular season started, I gave some predictions on some prop bets for the baseball season. Now that the regular season is almost over, I thought it would be a good time today to look back at some of those predictions I made.

Team Bets
Tigers. Over/Under 81-1/2 Wins – I like the Under* Tigers will have 86 0r 87 wins
Twins. Over/Under 83-1/2 Wins. I like the Over Twins will have 86 or 87 wins
Braves. Over/Under 84-1/2 Wins. I like the Over Braves won 86
Dodgers. Over/Under 84-1/2 Wins. I like the Over Dodgers won 95
Mets. Over/Under 89-1/2 Wins. I like the Under Mets won 70
Cardinals. Over/Under 82-1/2 Wins. I like the Over* Cards won 91
Giants. Over/Under 80-1/2 Wins. I like the Under Giants won 88
Royals. Over/Under 75-1/2 Wins. I like the Over Royals won 65
* indicates Best Bet
Not bad. I went three out of four on my “best bets.” I was really surprised the Tigers had the year they did. I definitely didn’t see it coming.
Overall, I went 16 for 25. That’s 64 percent for those of you scoring at home. If Cabrera can hit two Hr’s on Tuesday night, I can get up to 68 percent.
I think if you went to Las Vegas and won 64 percent of the time you would take it.
I will revisit the rest of my predictions after the season ends.
