2019 MLB win totals, odds, predictions: Proven computer model picks under 86 for Atlanta Braves
After Bryce Harper inked a head-turning 13-year, $330 million with the Phillies, a pair of big-time pitchers remain on the MLB free agency market as closer Craig Kimbrel and starter Dallas Keuchel are still looking for their 2019 team. Adding a front-of-the-rotation starter like Keuchel or a shutdown closer like Kimbrel could easily move a team’s projected 2019 MLB win total. With lineups and rotations taking shape in the month leading up 2019 MLB Opening Day on March 27, and plenty of free agency moves still to come, be sure to check out the season-long 2019 MLB picks and predictions from SportsLine’s proven computer model before making any plays on 2019 MLB win totals.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulated the entire season 10,000 times and found five MLB teams whose Vegas win totals are way off. This same model crushed the 2018 NFL schedule and is beating the books in NBA and college basketball, so you’ll want to see what it has to say.
The model performed better than 98 percent of experts tracked by NFLPickWatch.com the past three years when it came to picking games straight up. Moreover, the model has returned more than $5,200 to $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks the past two years and is up more than $4,000 this season alone on top-rated NBA plays.
Now, it’s locked in on Vegas’ 2019 MLB win totals. We can tell you the model says the Atlanta Braves fall well short of their projected MLB win total of 86.
Atlanta stunned Major League Baseball last year with a young roster that surged to a 90-72 record and an NL East crown. Hoping to repeat that division title and make a deeper run in the 2019 MLB playoffs, Atlanta spent $23 million this offseason on Josh Donaldson, a hard-hitting but injury-prone third baseman who has 40-home run upside, but has also missed substantial time the past two seasons.
The model says that risk won’t pay off for Atlanta. The Braves, who will again be relying on young pitching, will stay in the postseason hunt with a projected total of 83 wins, but fall well short of the Nationals‘ 95-win projection and three games below their 2019 projected win total from Vegas.
The model also generated huge disparities on four other teams, including the Kansas City Royals. They finished with 58 wins last season in a dismal season. Oddsmakers have set their season-win total at 69, and the projection model has a strong opinion on the 2019 fortunes for a Kansas City team that won the World Series four years ago.
So which teams sail past their projected win totals? And how many wins will every single MLB team have this season? Visit SportsLine now to get the five best season win total bets, plus see every team’s projected record, all from an advanced computer model that keeps crushing its picks, and find out.
