Current Vegas betting over/under for wins has the Red Sox at 84.5 wins. Thoughts?

I think that’s pretty close to the consensus. We won 81 last year and on paper are *probably better* but not *that much better*. Still need a few more pieces to get us up.
This puts us as the T-11th best in baseball, but T-5th best in the AL – so we would potentially get the 2nd Wild Card under this.
American League is dramatically weaker than the National League at this point in time.
As of now, I can see it. Not sure how the O’s are projected for 90 wins though unless Vegas thinks they are going to retain Burnes and Santander
Yup, just good enough to keep interest throughout the summer, making sure ticket sales don’t drop heavily, but not even close to a serious contender.
White Sox at 50 wins is basically free money on the under 😂 that’s 9 more wins than last season and they have gotten worse instead of better
Take the under, easy money.
This means Vegas doesn’t think we’ll sign anyone else significant. They’re probably right.
Pound that under!
The thought of the Red Sox accepting mediocrity was so foreign to me…but it’s the present and future of this team
Sounds about right. Fighting for 4th place should make for a fun season.

Under
That’s pretty good if you are just a casual fan of your team.
Yay
What a terrible offseason for Boston. What lies will they tell next. If they wanted to sign a free agent they could go grab the guy. What a let down. Garrett isn’t going to sign long term here. He’s going to be on himself and test free agency. Enjoy these 2 seasons with him.
Zero mention of the potential impact from the prospects in all these doom and gloom reports. Curious how many “smash the under, easy $$$” people are actually putting any on the line.
Marlins under smash, that division going to be absurd and even the Nats are ~trying.
Seems about right. As of now we aren’t a playoff team. Maybe we eek in , but this isn’t a strong roster
Too high.
Again, Vegas odds are not predictions or projections. The number/line moves based one what bets people are making
Seems fair
That looks pretty close to what I would expect at this stage. If we have a little better luck with injuries than in recent years we should get up near 90. It’s all about the injuries.
I could quibble for one more win but this is reasonable. A couple more legitimate adds and they’re right there.
Under
I’m very much in on the over. Improved rotation and a healthy Trevor story at shortstop, healthy Casas at 1b. They would’ve won 10 more games if their infield defense was just league average last season. Healthy Casas and Story cleaning up the infield, improved rotation, and mixing Kristian Campbell into the mix at 2b it’s gonna be spicy
Under
Makes sense, til they spend some of our damn money
OVER
I think I’d take the under unless we get a bat or 2 (we won’t).
Sounds about right
Over. 87
Under
84… or 85.No 84
Under until they prove otherwise or really improve the roster. This is still basically the same squad.
Hammer the under. That had the Red Sox as tied for 5th in the AL. That’s not going to happen as currently constructed.
they should set the dodgers o/u to 110 just to throw everyone off and have fun

Orioles having a down year would be ideal
