Playing MLB win totals is a great way to keep you invested during the dog days of summer without struggling through the grind of daily baseball betting, which can be quite volatile over the course of a 162-game season.
Here's an over/under prediction for every team's win total this season, ranked from "bet the farm" to "flip a coin."
1. Pittsburgh Pirates under 69.5
The Pirates are set to make a legitimate run at the most losses in baseball this season and will be lucky to win 60 games, let alone 70.
2. Arizona Diamondbacks over 84.5
After winning 85 games last year, Arizona added Starling Marte to its potent lineup and Madison Bumgarner to its already impressive rotation. The Diamondbacks are an 88 to 91-win wild-card team.
3. Tampa Bay Rays over 90.5
It scares me how much I like the Rays. Their pitching staff might be the best in baseball and their lineup is criminally underrated. Expect to be watching this club deep into October.
4. Seattle Mariners under 67.5
Seattle isn't going to outhit many teams this year, even though it would need to in order to win games with its mediocre rotation. The Mariners are set to be the whipping boys in a stacked AL West.
5. Oakland Athletics over 89.5
The Athletics are going to absolutely mash the baseball this season, and their young pitching staff is set to make some serious waves. They're more likely to improve on last season's 97-win total than they are to finish below 90.
6. Houston Astros over 94.5
At the risk of upsetting Astros haters, the sign-stealing scandal contributed maybe an extra two wins to this team - and I even think that's a stretch. The roster is stacked and another 100-win season feels inevitable.
7. Boston Red Sox under 84.5
With Chris Sale out for the foreseeable future - and we know the likely end to that story - Martin Perez is the Red Sox third starter. Good luck, Bahston.
8. Chicago White Sox over 84.5
Sure, this is a big jump for the White Sox from 72 wins last season, but I firmly believe in this club's youth movement. All those years of rebuilding are about to pay off.
9. San Diego Padres under 83.5
The top three in San Diego's rotation have the potential to be absolutely filthy, but I have questions about their durability - 220 combined innings pitched last season - and the Padres' hitting depth to trust this team to win an additional 14 games in 2020.
10. Miami Marlins over 64.5
A total of 64.5 wins is insulting given the quality of the Marlins' rotation and the fact that their lineup is undoubtedly improved.
11. Los Angeles Angels under 85.5
The Angels might score a lot of runs, but they just don't have the pitching to reach 86 wins in a loaded AL West.
12. Milwaukee Brewers under 83.5
The Brewers are going to have to rely too heavily on a few stars to find the consistency needed to finish above .500.
13. Cincinnati Reds over 85.5
Adding Mike Moustakas and Nick Castellanos is going to help this Reds lineup pull its weight after Cincinnati left all the heavy lifting last season to its lights-out rotation.
14. St. Louis Cardinals over 88.5
In a typically professional manner, the Cardinals should comfortably march to another 90-win season and their second straight NL Central title.
15. Kansas City Royals under 64.5
The Royals could find themselves in the basement of the AL Central come September after the Tigers made some underrated moves this offseason.
16. Colorado Rockies under 74.5
The only NL West team that failed to improve this offseason, the Rockies need a lot to go right to even sniff this total.
17. Cleveland Indians over 86.5
Francisco Lindor does his thing, Jose Ramirez bounces back, Franmil Reyes smacks 45 home runs, and the Indians comfortably pitch their way to another 90-win season.
18. Minnesota Twins under 92.5
After winning 101 games last season, the Twins take a step back in 2020 as their division rivals in Cleveland and Chicago have big years.
19. Philadelphia Phillies under 85.5
I look at this team from top to bottom and it just doesn't excite me. In such a competitive division, the Phillies are likely headed for another .500 finish.
20. Baltimore Orioles under 55.5
Going under on such a low total is torture, but look at this Orioles roster and try and make a case for the over. You can't.
21. New York Mets over 87.5
I think this is the season it all comes together for the Mets and they march to a division title, but how many times have you heard that before?
22. Detroit Tigers over 56.5
It wasn't a spectacular offseason, but the Tigers still made some smart moves that suggest an improvement on last season's 47-win debacle is imminent. Let's just hope they don't go trading everyone before the deadline.
23. Texas Rangers over 79.5
It would be an easy over for me if this was solely based on the Rangers' roster, but the fact that Texas plays in such a tough division gives me pause.
24. Toronto Blue Jays over 75.5
The spectrum of wins for this team might be wider than any club in baseball this season, but the talent is there and it's hard not to buy what the Jays are selling.
25. New York Yankees under 101.5
The Yankees could coast to 105 wins and I wouldn't bat an eye, but are you really comfortable banking on them to stay healthy? They couldn't even make it through February in good health.
26. San Francisco Giants over 69.5
The Giants might be the most unsexy team in baseball, but their rotation is intriguing and their lineup is crafty enough for a win total in the low-70s to be attainable.
27. Chicago Cubs under 86.5
I hate going under because I think this Cubs lineup is due for big things in 2020, but the team's uninspiring rotation needs to prove something to me before I buy in.
28. Washington Nationals under 89.5
Maybe this is just me drinking the Mets' Kool-Aid again, but I think the Nationals miss Anthony Rendon in a bad, bad way.
29. Los Angeles Dodgers over 101.5
The Dodgers could win 110 games if they wanted to, but 100 victories are probably enough for first place in the National League, which could result in some complacency down the stretch.
30. Atlanta Braves under 91.5
If the Braves could win 91.5 games, they probably would. This total feels spot on, but I'll lean fractions under because I'm buying slightly more into the bust potential of their rotation than its boom.
