Angels Over/Under 84.5 wins?

[Jimmag]

Over. Yes we can!

[arch stanton]

And here I am on the other side of the world. This board alone should have that bet up to 88 by week's end.

[the square beyond compare]

Over. 95-96 wins. Big bats earn their money this year. Freese contributes in the playoffs.

[tomsred]

91-71.

[Hollyw00d]

Smart bet takes the under, chances are everything won't go right, which this team will need to happen to have a shot at decent season.

Compare this team to the 2012 team. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/teamstats/roster.php?y=2012&t=ANG

 

Several things didn't go right for them, and they still had 89 wins.

[Jay]

under, 81-81

[iiisenordingdong]

OVER!

[The God of Runs]

The only thing that has prevented me from driving to Vegas and betting everything I own is the possibility that Blanton begins the year in the rotation and makes 15+ starts.  How much would that change the Halo Prospects for winning 85 or more games

[YouthofToday]

I expect the over.

[disarcina]

86 -- third place -- out of the money -- well, they might get the second wild card spot.

 

depends much on how well we do against Houston in the season series -- another 7-9 record or whatever we did last year, won't cut it........

 

not when Oakland goes 16-2 against them and Texas something like 14-4.

[Eric]

My heart hopes for the over.

 

However, if I'm betting on the line, I'm taking the under.  That said, I would not make the bet because I never, ever bet against the Angels. Even when I know the line is completely off I just won't make the bet. I only bet for the Angels when the line looks too good to pass up. I have friends who sports bet all the time that ask me whether I'm putting money on the game because they know I have a stellar track record when I do bet and they want in on the action.

 

And after all that, I haven't placed a bet on the Angels since 2009 against the Yankees when the line was so out of whack they had the Angels +215.(Pettite v Weaver) I raked in that one big time.

I agree

[Docwaukee]

I love friday.  

[Sherlock31]

Another in your face old thread bump..............

[The God of Runs]

I'm gonna be a little richer in a week or so.

[Halos of Anaheim]

lmao.

[SoCALkid]

Barely over, 85.

Looking like your prediction for the A's will pan out.

[Spirit]

I'll take the over.

[nate]

I was way off, lol.

[Stradling]

nate hated this team coming into the season. I remember thinking, "wow nate is totally down on this team"

[nate]

I did, I thought the pitching was going to be total crap and there was nothing about the offense that inspired me since it was basically the same as the previous season.

 

I couldn't have been more wrong.

[Hollyw00d]

I agree

yup, a lot of things have gone our way.

who would have thought matt shoemaker would be a top 20 pitcher? Not many saw g rich having a cy young season. Cowgill turned out to be a valuable bench player. Calhoun broke out this season as well. The bullpen from spring training to now is like night and day. Hector Santiago has been a reliable starter, which some including me, saw coming.

so yeah, I was pretty much right

[YouthofToday]

I'm more interested in when people admit they are wrong and learned from their mistakes than folks informing others they were right.

They process in how decisions are made is the critical point. That is why I always thought Reagins was a complete clown.

[DW711]

Looking like your prediction for the A's will pan out.

 

Because I talk so much crap about the Angels?

 

I've been saying they're the better team for over a month now. Maybe two.
