We won more games last year with a weaker team in what was likely a stronger division. I'd have to agree with John, I see four or five pretty easy bets here that you could parlay into huge winnings... Or you can just play it safe and bet the Twins with the over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394137.post-8512597219281973772010-03-05T01:53:09.080-06:002010-03-05T01:53:09.080-06:00JimCrikket: You don't need a sportsbook in Io...JimCrikket: You don't need a sportsbook in Iowa...you can bet online!

On the Twins' depth chart, Jeff Manship is counted twice. That explains why every other team is projected to throw 1457 IP (reasonably close to last year's MLB average of 1442 IP), but the Twins are projected to throw 1497. Take away the extra 40 IP of Manship, and the Twins' depth chart starts to make more sense.<br /><br />neckrollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173753481536697590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394137.post-387742279467794412010-03-04T22:37:23.628-06:002010-03-04T22:37:23.628-06:00See this is why it's a good thing Iowa doesn&#...See this is why it's a good thing Iowa doesn't have legalized sportsbook (yet... there's talk). I'd be out there betting the "over" on 7 AL teams. Twins, WSox, Yankees, RSox, Angels, Rangers and Mariners. Will they all cover? Probably not. But I have a tough time imagining over half of them failing to do so.JimCrikkethttp://www.knuckleballsblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394137.post-48108753922847978452010-03-04T22:28:41.308-06:002010-03-04T22:28:41.308-06:00They still haven't worked out playing time in ...They still haven't worked out playing time in their depth charts.
