I am assuming that the over at -120 vs. -110 on the under means the bookies think that the Diamondbacks are actually favored to exceed that 81.5 game win total, yes?

And I am assuming that the bookies were drinking heavily when they put the total wins at 90 for the Dodgers, yes? Did they forget that Hanley Ramirez, is now a Dodger? That means they have no where to go but down.

Let's set the NL West now shall we:


1. Az Diamondbacks: Gibby ball is in the house, a'int no stoppin' the Desert Crimson now.
2. San Diego Padres: The surprise of the NL west just come up short finishing 7 games back of the Dbacks.
3. S F Giants: The Giants have never ever repeated. They finish 3rd 10 games back
4. L.A. Dodgers: Two words: Hanley Ramirez!!! 15 games back
5. Colorado Rockies: Nobody cares about them. 24 games back.

The totals came out (Reno) both sides at -115 ....The bettors have played the over and the line moves in the way the bettors think,....not the way the bookies think

The Dodgers win either 117 games or just 77, nothing in between.

I am so figuratively sick, tired and disgusted of hearing how those new trillionaires came over too late and the team didn't jell. What a bunch of crap.

What you're telling me is that baseball players need to sleep together for a few months in order to play well together?

I'd blame the mascot before I put blame on not playing well because players are too "new" to each other.

Imo, they're either good or lovety and they were lovety after they acquired those guys last year.

That being said I would not be shocked if they went out and won 117 games solely because of the great Hyun-Jin-Ryu.
