Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: MLB season win totals betting props highlighted by Dodgers and Astros

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Houston Astros will try to return to the World Series in 2018, and they headline the list of MLB season win totals at the sportsbooks.

The Los Angeles Dodgers had the best record in baseball in 2017, going 104-58. With much of last year’s roster still intact, the Dodgers will try to build on that success with another strong season in 2018.

Los Angeles’s 2018 win total is set at 96.5 victories at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The OVER 96.5 is going off at -120 while the UNDER 96.5 is paying off at +100. The Dodgers, the favorites on the 2018 World Series odds, have won the NL West five straight times, but never with more than 94 wins before last season. To find the last time before 2017 that the Dodgers won over 95 games, you have to go all the way back to 1977.

Houston won the World Series in 2017 after going 101-61 during the regular season. The Astros are tied with Los Angeles for the highest set win total in the MLB this year at 96.5 wins, though they are favored to go OVER this total at -120 while the UNDER would pay +100. Before last season, Houston had gone 12 seasons without a 90-win year. But the patience of a rebuild that included three straight seasons with over 100 losses has paid major dividends as the Astros are now one of the elite teams in baseball.

One of the most intriguing totals on the board is the New York Yankees, who are set at 94.5 wins (Over -110, Under -110). New York went 91-71 last season but are a popular pick to improve this year after adding Giancarlo Stanton to an already powerful young lineup. The key to this team’s success will be Stanton staying healthy and the performance of the pitching staff. The Yankees won 95 or more games in four straight seasons from 2009 to 2012.

Other teams looking to hit big win totals in 2018 include the Cleveland Indians at 94.5 (Over -110, Under -110), the Chicago Cubs at 94.5 (Over +100, Under -120), the Washington Nationals at 92.5 (Over -115, Under -105) and the Boston Red Sox at 91.5 (Over -110, Under -110).

The lowest projected win total in the majors at online sports betting sites goes to the Miami Marlins at just 64.5 wins, after the team traded off some of its top stars this offseason.

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Jon Gruden: I Get A Ton Of Calls From Players Who Are "Dying To Come And Play Here"

The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Imagen
Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Rams-Raiders betting lines and point spread updates for MNF

Imagen
The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor...
