The 2018 MLB season is just days away now. MLB Opening Day is March 29, 2018 so it’s time to make our picks for 2018 MLB win totals based upon totals listed by OddsShark.
Top 3 MLB Win Total Over Bets
1 – San Diego Padres (Over 69.5) – The Padres have been building a team over the past couple of years that looks ready to be competitive this season. With the NL West looking like a tough division, it’s hard to see them with a winning record but this team will win 70+ games in 2018.
2 – Washington Nationals (Over 92.5) – The Nationals are still the class of the NL East. They should run away with the division again. With strong pitching and a balanced lineup this team will once again be up near the top of the league in wins.
3 – Chicago White Sox (Over 68) – The White Sox are in a rebuild and bottomed out in 2017 with 67 wins. They’ve got talent on this roster and should be more competitive game in and game out. Look for that to show enough improvement to get them to 70 or more wins.
Top 3 MLB Win Total Under Bets
1 – Los Angeles Dodgers (Under 96.5) – The Dodgers had a terrific 2017 regular season that led to a trip to game 7 of the World Series. After losing game 7 at home to the Astros, what is their mindset? Their division should be much better and the Dodgers fall back to Earth.
2 – Detroit Tigers (Under 68.5) – The Tigers are young and the division should be more competitive than most think. I think expecting this team to win 5 more games than they did last season is a stretch.
3 – New York Yankees (Under 94.5) – The Yankees made the biggest move of the offseason bringing Giancarlo Stanton to the Big Apple. They’re a public team and seeing this number should give you pause as the Yankees won 94 games last season.
The Yankees have their eyes on the World Series. It shouldn’t take 95 wins to make the playoffs in the AL this season.
