71.5 to go
I’m an A’s diehard, but I’m sanguine about their chances. They aren’t going to be great this year, but I’ve figured out a good way to deal with it. I took the over on the over-and-under on the number of wins for the A’s for the season: 72.5
This has the potential to keep the entire season interesting, even as the A’s slip dozens of games behind the rest of the division each win will bring them ever closer to winning me money. After the split in Tokyo, I only need 72 more wins and I’ll be in the money. And unlike normal baseball seasons where everyone is rooting for something amorphous like “the playoffs,” I have a fixed goal: being eight games or fewer under .500
Go A’s.
