LAS VEGAS, NV – Baseball starts tomorrow, so it is always fun to check out the over/under win totals for the season. The Mets listed over/under is in the low 70s while the Yankees is in the mid 90s. This twenty game spread looks appetizing for a delusional Mets fan like myself. Hell, I’m tempted to place some cash on the Mets over this year just to keep September interesting.
There is a number listed below for each team. Some are actual over/under win totals for teams but for others the numbers indicate something different. Try and see if you can guess which are the correct O/U’s and which others are truthful statements:
85 is the Arizona Diamondbacks over/under number or the number of concession workers deported during an average season.
