These are predictions for the total wins of each team. Pick 5 and whether you feel the team will finish with a better or worse record.

Over/Unders:
Arizona 87
Atlanta 86
Baltimore 65
Boston 93
Chicago Cubs 88
Chicago ChiSox 78
Cincinnati 78
Cleveland 90
Colorado 83
Detroit 93

San Diego 84
San Francisco 71
Seattle 83
St Louis 76
Tampa Bay 76
Texas 75
Toronto 85
Washington 71

1. Tampa Bay: 76 Over...they should be closer to .500 if they can't reach it.

2. Colorado: 83 over...that # seems way too low for a defending NL Champ.

3. Boston: 93 over...cmon, barring a collapse they should easily surpass 93.

4. Toronto: 85 under...I don't see them winning that many.

5. Houston: 75 under...This team is in rebuilding mode for a reason.

Mets-Under Choked last year, and the Phillies and Braves are both going to improve

Phillies-Over_87 wins???? They had 89 last year, and are starting off without two big busts, Leiber and Garcia. Plus they have an everyday 3rd baseman who is going to go wild in this park. They will win at least 90 games this year. At least. I'm betting 93-95..

Boston-93 wins??? OVER!!! They will more than likely reach 100

Colorado- 83 wins. Wow, talk about disrespecting the NL champs!!

Cubs-88 wins-UNDER- Hey, they are the Cubs!!!

Yankees under 93 wins

Boston over 93

Detriot over 93

Giants- Under 71
Cardinals- Over 76

1. Cincinnati- that is under. They will contend this season. I see 85-88 wins.

2. Tampa 76. That is too low. They have a really good pitching staff and the most exciting up and comers in the league....I think anyway. Upton will have a breakout year. They will be over .500.

3. San Fran 71 is over. they have good pitching, but they are rebuilding. They won't score many runs.

4. Detroit 93 - I think this is too high. They still don't have a bullpen. Just ask any Reds fan what a lack of bullpen will do for a season. Verlander is great, but they need to rely on Willis who has been declining.

5. Pittsburgh 70- I am going to say this is over. They will have a tough time reaching this many wins. Their ROY has declined the last 2 seasons, and they didn't really do anything to improve at all.

Okay, I see now. I almost died of laughter at first, but you mean that the 70 wins in too high for the Bucs, not that their win total will be over 70. That I agree with. They already did an article in the paper a few days ago about how Bay, Jack Wilson and Xavier Nady were all expecting midseason trades. When you see stuff like that in spring training, you know it's going to be a fun season.

The mortal lock of these picks is Oakland under 74 wins. Which way to Vegas?

Cincy - under 78
Florida - under 68
