Placed my yearly MLB Season Wins Bets

Last year, won in a walk as I had the Braves over.

 

Worst year I ever won was the year I won the under by a half-game for the Marlins, when they canceled the last game because Jose Fernandez died.

 

 

 

Anyway, this years picks:

 

San Francisco Giants- Under 74 wins

Seattle Mariners- Under 73.5 wins

 

Giants have an ancient lineup and probably the most horrific outfield this side of Miami.  Posey is starting to decline and at 33 has a lot of wear-and-tear.  The rotation is pretty bereft of talent outside of Bumgarner, and he can hopefully start a Lincecum-esque flameout to aid in my quest.  In their division, the Dodgers and Rockies should be +.500, the Padres are going to be massively improved (can't wait to watch Paddack pitch), and the D'Backs should be their competition for the cellar.

 

Mariners lost an epic shitload of talent in Zunino, Segura, Paxton, Cano, Colome, and Diaz.  They brought in a talented Japanese pitcher (who could be hit or miss) and little else.  King Felix looks to past it and the rest of the arms are pretty unrecognizable.  The Astros will be the Astros, the A's somehow always find a way to win, the Angels look to be right around .500, and the Rangers have a putrid staff.  On season wins, I look for teams with players reaching their peak playing years.  The M's are pretty old and past their peak both in the batter's box and on the rubber.
