Odds-makers project D-backs to finish fourth in NL West

Bet Online have released their over-under projections for the win tallies by all 30 teams in the majors this upcoming season. The D-backs are projected to finish fourth in the NL West. It’s not really a pretty picture, Arizona finishing not just behind Los Angeles (projected to win the division by a dozen games) and Colorado, but also San Diego. Hey, at least we’ll be ahead of the Giants. The bad news is, they and the Marlins would be the ONLY teams we finish ahead of, if these predictions come to pass...

1. Los Angeles Dodgers 94½
2. Colorado Rockies 82½
3. San Diego Padres 78½
4. Arizona Diamondbacks 77½
5. San Francisco Giants 73½

Here are the expected standings in the other divisions. Boy, I’m really looking forward to the 2019 post-season... :( Still, any of these look worth a wager?
