MLB win totals: NL West over or under according to Vegas
By Travis Koch
Caesars Sports Book has posted the 2020 MLB win totals. Today, we’ll analyze each NL West team’s lean towards the over/under.
We’re going division by division predicting the over or under on MLB win totals. The recently released list from Caesars Sportsbook is our reference for all 30 teams. We’ve covered the American League West, Central, and East. Now it’s the National League’s turn. Let’s start with the NL West.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Win Total: 99
Prediction: Over
More from NL West
- Boston Red Sox fans should be upset over Mookie Betts’ comment
- Stock Up, Stock Down: Mariners, Padres, Giants, Phillies
- Can we expect late-season runs for the Cincinnati Reds and Arizona Diamondbacks?
- Versatile Michael Toglia shines in second season for Colorado Rockies
- Matt Koch gamble pays dividends for Colorado Rockies
Again, we’re going off Caesars’ totals from last month, which pins the Dodgers at 99 wins. That number has certainly gone up since L.A. acquired Mookie Betts and David Price a couple of days ago. Regardless, the Dodgers are the clear heavyweights of the NL and the long-shot favorites to represent the league in the World Series.
Their lineup is remarkably talented and seasoned. Nearly every player on the Dodgers’ projected roster has reached some level of the postseason. Of course, it helps that the organization has participated in two of the last three World Series. They’ll have a 2019 MVP and a 2018 MVP atop their batting order, and plenty of proven bats to follow.
A rotation consisting of Walker Buehler, Clayton Kershaw, David Price, Julio Urias, and Alex Wood undoubtedly adds to the intimidation.
100 wins should be a breeze for The Boys in Blue. All they’ll have to do is go out and play with free minds, void of lofty expectations. They’re not going to get much push-back from the rest of the NL West, so that’s a start.
