63? 64?

https://www.vegasinsider.com/mlb/odds/win-totals/

If you had to bet, I'd take the Caesars 63 over -110 to save you a push with 63 wins. I was confident before February they should lock in 67-70 wins this season. With what has gone on the past few weeks, I'm less confident.

I wouldn't bet under. It could happen, but even the worst teams typically win over 60, and there isn't a big margin to work with.

if they go with a bunch of veterans (Moustakas, Pillar) over the mid 20s prospects, I hope they finish below the 1962 Mets futility. Jerry, Getz, Pedro and possibly Tony would deserve what they wrought/sowed, though Jerry would use it and the weak attendance to argue he deserves a few billion more than the two billion he has already demanded (not including the several billion in future interest).

Thanks, I only saw the first page choices when I clicked the link.

I don't go into Circa because they scan your drivers license and does God knows what with your personal data. That said, you'd get the same odds at The D (though they also at times scan IDs on weekends) or other places that use Circa's odds.

In any event, read the fine print on these bets, because some sportsbook have onerous provisions like 160-162 games must be played, so a rain out that won't be made up could take away your win, even if the game was irrelevant.

That's the perfect number, vegas is usually pretty good. I'd probably take the over but then again this team is going to suck and if they sell off pieces 55 isn't out of play. f*** it, put me down as under on 62.5 as of this moment.

Forget that.

Sox + 25,0000 to win the Gold!

68-70.

Also place a bet on when Grifol gets fired. 

Under. Sox have bad luck. Too bad they still don't play divisional foes 19 times. The non divisional teams will mash the Sox.

Re other totals, baseball totals is the one sport I like playing unders.

My lock is St Louis under 85.5.  They won't be any better.  I wonder if I can find some odds that they go under 70.
Seattle got worse over the offseason.  Under 86.5.

Draft Kings has them at 63.5 for -105 odds (it was +100 a couple of weeks ago when I bet).

Fan Duel is the same amount of wins but -110.

Its going to be a good year for the White Sox. 85 wins!!!!

I'm actually overly optimistic, which means 72 wins for this squad. 

On second thought with the balanced schedule...68

I would have easily taken the over originally.. But if Grifol plays these defensive scrubs all year.. IDK how we can score enough to win 63 games. Because I think Grifol is a fucking idiot, I think if I had to, I'd bet the under.

I'm hoping playing the defensive scrubs who can't score is better than playing the non-defensive scrubs who also can't score. I took the over since I got + odds and just hoping they can at least barely squeak it out at 64 or 65.

If they gave it their all with the current roster, maybe high 60s. With more trades coming in July or earlier, I’ll go 58-104.

• March (1): 1 Det
• April (10): 2 KC; 0 Atl; 1 Cleve; 2 Cin; 1KC; 1Phil; 1 Minn; 2 TB; 0 Minn
• May (10): 0 Minn; 2 STL; 0 TB; 1 Cleve; 2 Wash; 1 NYY; 0 Tor; 2 Balt; 1 Tor; 1 Milw.
• June (12): 1 Milw; 1 Cubs; 3 Red Cubs; 1 Seamen; 1 Ari; 2 Hou; 0 Det; 1 LAD; 2 Col.
• July (11): 0 Cleve; 1 MIA; 2 Minn; 2 Pitt; 2 KC; 1 Tex; 2 Seamen; 1 KC.
• August (10): 0 Minn; 1 Oak; 1 Cubs; 0 NYY; 1 Hou; 2 SF; 2 Det; 2 Tex; 1 NYM.
• September (14): 0 NYM; 2 Balt; 2 Red Cubs; 2 Cleve; 2 Oak; 2 Ana; 1 SD; 2 Ana; 1 Det.

68-94

I have them finishing strong with Pedro fired, good callups and veterans injured or cut along the way.

I also believe a few of the guys starting in AAA including the accumulated pitchers will perform better the final two months than what was left to finish 2023.

68-94 is my final answer.

probably between 65-75

Last years team was more talented than this years team and they won 61 games.

I have a hard time seeing a path that is over 65 wins, especially when you consider anyone who is doing fairly well will most likely be traded halfway through the season.

Maybe just a couple more things going right. I mean, we’re not saying they’re going to be a great team, or even good. 65 wins is still garbage.

As Jackie Gleason once said as Ralph Kramden in the Honeymooners: "Let me have what your drinking I want to get loaded too..." 

Don't waste time or money on the White Sox.  Do something cool like hike in Red Rock Canyon!
