2017 Major League Baseball Season Win Over/Under Best Bets
Over the last three decades during my career as a professional sports bettor and handicapper, I have often said that some of my easiest wins have come with future bets.
Why? Because a sharp and disciplined handicapper can project a team’s successes and failures even better than Las Vegas.
So when the season over/under win totals are posted in any sport, there are bound to be “mistakes” in which we can pounce on.
That was the case once again earlier this year when the Major League Baseball future numbers were posted. The chief baseball handicapper at Harry Bondi Sports is Frank Drake, a man who has earned the reputation over the last decade as one of the best baseball handicappers in the country. Over the last three years, Frank’s MLB Over/Under Win Reports have gone a profitable 12-5, and this year he has six more winners for the 2017 season.

MINNESOTA TWINS – UNDER 74.5 WINS (-125) LOST
This is a classic situation where we think the oddsmaker goofed. The Twinkies lost a franchise record 103 games last year and were the worst team in baseball. They are still very young, and the starting rotation is thin and unreliable, yet in order to go over this total the team would have to improve by 16 wins? We’re not seeing it. Most of the starting lineup consists of 23 and 24-year-old prospects that could probably use more seasoning in the minors. It’s unlikely ALL of these kids will pan out and the veterans on the roster — guys like Joe Mauer, Ervin Santana and Phil Hughes — all have a lot of miles on them and are injuries waiting to happen. What’s more, if the team is out of contention in July, which is more than likely, the front office will be selling some of these hot prospects. Looks like a 70 win season, at the most, to us.

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES – UNDER 73.5 WINS (-130) WON!
The Phillies made a huge leap from 63 wins to 71 wins last year and the oddsmaker is betting they stay at that level this season. Not so fast, my friend. This is a franchise that hasn’t broken the 73-win plateau since 2012 and we’re not expecting that to change this year as the front office did very little to improve an offense that really struggled in 2016. The Phillies don’t have an ace, or a No. 2 or 3 starter for that matter, or a reliable closer, and will have to play a ton of games against division rivals Washington, NY Mets and Florida, which all have playoff aspirations.

MILWAUKEE BREWERS – OVER 69.5 WINS (-120) WON!
From 2011 to 2014, the Brew Crew averaged 83.7 wins per season. Yes, they are still in a rebuilding mode after improving from 68 wins in 2015 to 73 last year, but we’re betting that “W” total keeps climbing up, rather than falling off. This looks like a lineup that will be closer to a .500 record than sub-70 wins. We like the addition of veteran Travis Shaw at third base and keep an eye on 1B Eric Thames, who hit 124 HRs in Korea the last three seasons and allows Ryan Braun — the longest tenured player on the team — to return to LF. The starting rotation has holes, but Junior Guerra pitched very well after being called up in May last year and if he continues to progress will be a decent No. 1 for a team that we’re only asking to win 70 games. Being in the same division with the Cubs is offset by the fact that the Reds may be the worst team in baseball and both the Cardinals and Pirates are on the downswing.
