Whenever you see an over under that starts with 100, you’re like, “Okay.”
You take the under.
We’re talking about talking about a little bit of a different situation.
And to your point right there, maybe that is a reason to take the under.
I was just taking Okay.
Yes, I was gonna say this looked familiar.
I do believe that this mark of 103.5 as the over under from BetMGM is the same that it was a year ago.
And as we know, the Dodgers did not win 103 or 104- What a failure of a season or 102 games.
They only won 93.
However, this is not a podcast about what will happen after the regular season concludes.

This is how many wins they will bank in the regular season.
And that said, that’s, that’s a gigantic number again.
You can say, “Okay.
Well, why is this going to be different than the other years?”
Like, 103.5, h- think about it this way.
How many times have the Dodgers in this run won 104 games?
I think it’s twice, in this run since they’ve been in the playoffs every year.
Let’s see.
no, I’m wrong about that.
Four times.
2017, 2019, 2021, and 2022.
2022 winning 111 games.
Since then, 198 and 93.
Yeah.
But they are- I will take the under on- trying to help you start the year, so yeah.
Sure.
I’m taking the under on any team at 100 over 100.

Like, I just I’m taking the under.
It’s just so many things can go wrong.
Think about the Dodgers last year, right?
A lot went wrong for them.
They still were really good.
I just, there are too many bumps in the road.
Give me the under on that.
Yeah.
I to- No, I totally agree.
Again, the fact that Pecota projects them for 104 and Fangraph says over 96, like, I think more than 93.
I think this is still the team I’m expecting to have the best record in baseball.
But yeah, I’m with you.
100 is just Yeah.
