I made a couple hundred bucks in 2010 betting the over on Padres wins. The MWC tournament places a lot of us in Vegas right before the baseball season begins. If you feel strongly about it either way, a bet would be fun. I am seriously thinking about placing money on the over.

I would guess around 76. I wouldn't be shocked by a .500 season from the Padres.

I'd say 76, which is still pretty bad.
You're not a true WS contender until you get to at least 90 wins, and realistically 92+ is what most WS winners will have under their belts going in to the playoffs.

Yeah, if that really is the Vegas over/under there's no way I'd pass up the over on that one. If I were in Vegas before the season starts... |

So far I'm on pace to be the only one who bet correctly. Seriously, you other 9, how did you look at our lineup and pitching and honestly think we'd win 71+ games? This team makes my Rivercats...er, A's look good - and that's sayin' somethin...

This team makes my Rivercats...er, A's look good - and that's sayin' somethin... Lineup I'll give you but the pitching looked to be at the very least decent and pretty good once you factor in Petco Park. The problem is when Cashner starts this weekend he will be the 11th pitcher to start a game for the Padres so early in the season. Not sure what the record for that is (or even how to go about finding it) but considering we are at the beginning of June we we've run through more than 2 starting rotations so far doesn't bode well. |

When I was in Las Vegas I was sick. I could barely make the games. I therefore dodged a bullet and didn't place a bet.
If I would have known the injuries before the season started, I would place an under bet.

Looks like I'm gonna be eatin' some crow in a few days. With new ownership, I'm hoping for good future seasons...

Who could have guessed that the Padres would have 8 of their possible 12 starting pitchers on the DL most of the season? Who could have guessed that Hundley and Maybin would start the year below the mendoza line for 2.5 months? Who would have guessed Quentin would be out for the first 2 months? Who would have guessed Hudson and Barlett would not only be bad but so bad they were both gone by mid may? But most of all who could have guessed the season would turn in mid June with Quentin, Grandal, Amarista, Forsythe, Cabrera added to the team and Maybin, Headley, Venable, Donorifa, and Alonso turning their numbers around?
For "Over" to win the Padres only need to win 5 of their last 20 games. |
