I placed the following bets last night on total team wins. Thoughts?

Orioles - 78 O
Angels - 91.5 O
Astros 59.5 U

I'd probably bet the same as you on Bal and LAA.  Orioles aren't creeping on anyone this year, but I don't think they're 15 games worse than last year.  Angels had a horrible April and still finished with 89 wins.  Plus they get to beat up on Houston now.   

The under seems like a lock for a team that was last in scoring in all of MLB last year, but that Houston line is really iffy because it's kind of hard to lose 100+ games for 3 straight years and they already have 2 straight seasons with 100+ losses.  The worst team in baseball only won 55 games last year and they just moved to the tougher league and a very tough division.  I guess if any team is "set up" to have a 3rd straight 100 loss season, it's them.  But I'd say this one is a toss up.

One of the reasons I took Houston was due to what you said - I figured they'd get beat up by the Angels 15 times..helps two bets at once.

[Sgt PSN]

Were they individual bets, or a single bet needing all 3 to happen in order to win?

[DH]

All individual bets...Im also thinking about taking the Mets 74 O. Ridicule away..

the orioles have a massive regression coming not because they wont be sneaking up on people but because i think they set the record for most one run wins last year....that will correct itself

Two-time Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana has suffered a probable re-tear of the anterior capsule in his left shoulder and a repeat surgery is a "strong possibility," New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said.

Santana needed 19 months to throw a major league pitch after the first procedure, which had been performed on less than a dozen pitchers in major league history.

Now, he likely would need to overcome the surgery twice, this time at age 34, in order to return to pitching.

Santana is in the final guaranteed season of a six-year, $137.5 million with the club. There is $31 million still owed on the contract, all of which is not insured.
