Is Mets under 89.5 the easiest total ever?

I doubt that...it could happen.

BettingWizard,
You are probably looking at the lines posted at The Greek and those are LAST YEARS projected regular season win totals which is why no betting lines are offered on them yet.

All of the regular season win totals you are seeing are going to be changed to reflect the realities of last season along with all the off season deals that were done.

I would guess when betting lines are offered, you are going to see a vastly reduced number on the Mets regular season win total.

sad to hear.

Sorry for the delivery of news you didn't want to hear.

I got real excited when I saw that Angels under 87 1/2 and Seattle over 79 1/2 and thought Greek went on a charity binge.

I then realized all those lines sure look similar to last year and finally made the connection.

Seemed several wins off when I read the headline.

They've made some nice additions (Bay, Matthews, Escobar) but they definitely still have some holes. If Beltran and Reyes can stay healthy, and Wright comes back to form, I think they have a chance. They still have a helluva ace and a helluva closer.

Too bad. That would've been so sweet.

EXhoosier10 · 02-22-10, 09:23 PM

Matthews is way overrated. He signed a huge contract after getting caught with steroids. SInce then he's a -1.6 WAR player (http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx...53&position=OF). He's 36 years old too. that wasn't that good of an addition.

i like mariners having a good year this year, and sorry mets, have to go under, wont even get 2nd place likely

FrozenMAN · 02-22-10, 11:35 PM

i would seriously consider going all in on that and saying f it to the marlins season project again if thats the right number

Andy117 · 02-23-10, 12:03 AM

I think the Mets number will be around 84.

Carseller4 · 02-23-10, 12:06 AM

Definately under 89

Andy117 · 02-23-10, 12:12 AM

Actually the Mets are at 81.

stealthyburrito · 02-23-10, 09:46 PM

o/u 89.5? thats gotta be wrong, if it were true i would pound that under

TheLock · 02-23-10, 10:19 PM

I would re-finance my home if the Mets were at 89

aajreyno · 02-23-10, 10:21 PM

If Johan and Reyes return to form, the Mets will be 81-81 at worst. Depending on how the rest of the team performs is what you would be betting on.

IrishTim · 02-24-10, 12:18 AM

I projected about 78 wins. Don't understand this number.

chisox19 · 02-24-10, 12:20 AM

where'd you find the win totals?
