Placing Some Baseball Bets: 25 Predictions for the 2010 Season

Last year, I went on Bodoglife.com and placed some baseball prop bets. Bets like over/under for a player’s average, home runs, or wins and a team’s over/under for wins.

I made 25 bets (I didn’t actually bet) and when the season ended, I finished at 64 percent on the season. Good, but not great. I am definitely looking to improve on that percentage this year.

Let’s look at 25 bets for this season:

Matt Wieters: over/under .295 average—Under

Kevin Millwood: over/under 10.5 wins—Over
