Has the Bucs slow start lowered your expectations?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Pittsburgh Pirates fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
We’re back with the results of this week’s survey. Our good friends over at FanDuel have reset the MLB win total over-unders based upon how each team has started the year. The over-under for the Buccos has now been set to 72.5 games. They are -102 to hit the over and -120 to hit the under at the moment. Those are some pretty close odds, so it sounds like the experts over at FanDuel are pretty confident about that win total. This isn’t a very big money making bet — a sign that 72.5 is a pretty good target.
So what did our readers think? Here’s that final tally.
A slight majority of you are taking the under, which I think makes sense based upon the early results of the season. Though the Bucs have been a little better of late, they’re still not a good team, and getting to .500 is going to be a challenge. I took 76 games at the start of the season, and I do think that is still doable. I sticking with 76 (and the over) at the moment, but I’m reserving the right to redo that prediction.
