Do you see how the consensus is under? Yet the line is 86.5?
That means the Mets will have a competitive year. Bet the over. Always fade the public
Definitely over 86.5. Lots of young talent will be getting a shot this year. The return of health to veteran pitching alongside rookie growth in McLean, Sproat, Scott, and Tong.
I don’t think we’re far off the mark talent wise than we were last year. Of course lots of key departures are scary but I think out of spring this team will look more solid than we think.
Idk but I’d hammer the over on the nats
I wouldn’t bet against the Mets this year.
…if they make the playoffs, bet against them *next* year.
Based on the current roster? Under. But I don’t believe at all we’re anywhere near done making big moves. I strongly feel that we’re still going to get a strong pitcher and strong hitter (and if the hitter is DH/1B instead of an OF, we’ll also get a decent OF).
Since 2000 the Mets went over 8 times, Under 17 times and pushed 1 time (2007). Based on that history there is a 70% chance they go under.
Lmao 86 wins this a 65 win squad as of today
The amount of people on reddit who are woe is me-ing and predicting fewer than 70 wins for the Mets is embarrassing. They may go under 87, but the fact that the companies that make money off of this stuff set the line at 86 1/2 should make the doomers think about how they assess players.
The safest bet is always to bet on the Mets underachieving.
POUND the under at this point.
Right now, under. This team screams 83-79 to me. Adding a tucker or a Valdez can probably push them closer to 86/87
I’m calling my shot! Fewer wins than the 1899 Spiders!!
Id say under but baseball is so random and stupid they could win 100 games even if theres no logic to it
Over.
Squirrel, Pete, and Nimmo might not have meshed well causing locker room tension
As currently constructed? Easily under. Not even a question.
Ya gotta believe, it’s an over for me
I think it’s about right; I’ll only say under because I think they’re around a 85 win team as currently constituted, with the potential to do better if some things click well.
Issue for me right now is I want to see them get the floor higher, remove some uncertainty, and getting another bat and another rotation arm would likely deal with that.
Under. Probably hovering at .500
It’s really accurate honestly I would take the over though only because I think we are not done but I sounds out any significant money on it
Under
Putting my house on the over
Right in that area. I think they need to temper their expectations on the Bravos. 87 seems high.
over. unbridled optimism has never hurt me before
I wouldn’t put anything on the Mets right now since the roster isn’t nearly complete but there are other interesting plays here. I’d take the over on the Reds and possibly the Marlins.
If I had to bet, I would take the over on the assumption that what they are going to add between now and opening day is going to nudge that line up by a win and a half or so.
As of January 6th….under
am i crazy for thinking thats high?
I’m not sure which, but I think the result will be at least a standard deviation above or below this… Hopefully above
Bang the over. Offseason isn’t done
Taking the over on every team in the nl east BUT NOT THE BRAVES
As it is today, under.
Right now, under. But that could change
Under, even with another bat signing up
Under. I’m thinking 78 wins max
Thinking that Stearns isn’t doing anything major this off season–I would bet the under–lots depends on which Manea and Peterson we get–ie. starting pitching.
I don’t understand how we could win 86 games with only two outfielders on the roster, but I’d take it.
