MLB Win Totals
We’re still weeks away from the first pitch of Major League Baseball 2015 but that doesn’t stop sports book operators from hanging regular season win totals before teams even get to camp. Credit to Atlantis in Reno for being the first again this year to post their numbers before any other casino in Nevada. Westgate followed suit this weekend opening their numbers on Sunday afternoon. Keep in mind when looking over win totals either for investment opportunities or merely as a casual fan understand they’re better indicators of oddsmaker’s true expectations than futures prices. The Cubs provide one of the most compelling examples for this market trend given they’re as high as 6th in some future pools yet only predicted to finish right around .500. Many know my thoughts on the north siders but I won’t go quite as far to say this season could be as underwhelming for them as 2 years ago proved to be for the Bluejays amid lofty expectations.
