MLB Season Win totals... Bet with my brain or my heart??

As the MLB season approaches, my favorite thing to do is bet a few season win/loss totals with fairly large amounts for myself, to essentially limit the # of individual games I bet by having 3 teams to root for or against each day.

I've seen some opening #'s on The Greek, which may or may not be set in stone... but one of them jumps out BIG TIME to me. 

The Mets are not even CLOSE to a 90 win team, so their 89.5 win total seems absurd to me.  Then again, i am a Mets fan... 

So the question looms... do I bet the under 89.5 wins (if this in fact is the total, I will bet it on 5dimes) and cheer against my team all season, or do i just avoid it completely as i will be torn throughout the season on who to cheer for???


Other early #'s that I like:  (I will bet 3 teams by the start of seaon)

Nationals OVER 65.5 wins

Rockies OVER 79.5 wins

Indians UNDER 83.5 wins


These numbers all seem off to me, so it'll be interesting to see what is released as the season gets closer.

There is no way in hell the Mets will win 90 games. Their starting rotation after Santana is either questionable or awful. Plus the Phillies are still going to be strong and the Braves have improved their bullpen and their offense this off-season. At best the Mets will finish 3rd in the NL East and that won't have them sitting near 90 wins. It's always hard betting against your own team, but if that is the real win total number, that would be hard to pass up.

And indeed if the Indians number is 83.5, I will be pounding that under as well. Good stuff penzfan17....
