2019 MLB Futures 'Best Bets' - Win Totals

Spring training in both Arizona and Florida for all 30 MLB teams is underway with the first exhibition games on the slate for Friday, Feb. 22. The 162-game regular season schedule gets underway in April with wins and losses counting for real in the standings. BetAnySports online sportsbook has released its betting odds based on each team's projected win total this season with a moneyline for both the OVER and UNDER.

The Houston Astros have the highest total on the board at 96.5 wins. They are coming off a 103-win campaign in 2018. At the complete opposite end of the spectrum are the Baltimore Orioles after falling off the face of the earth last season at 47-115. They have the lowest projected total for wins this season at 60.5. When it comes to betting on projected MLB win totals, the best value for a play on the OVER tends to lie with a team at the bottom of last year's standings looking to take a big step forward this time around. If you are looking for a value play on the UNDER, a good place to start is with a winning team poised for a step backwards in 2019.

As part of my coverage of 2019 MLB futures for the popular sports betting site Scores & Stats, the link below highlights my top-valued bets for both the OVER and UNDER for win totals for the upcoming MLB regular season.

Warriors are Heavy Home Favorites Against Kings

The Golden State Warriors return to action this Thursday night as heavy 13.5-point home favorites against the Sacramento Kings.

While their performance on the court has them on top of the Western Conference standings at 41-16 SU, with just one cover on the closing number at BetAnySports online sportsbook in their last seven games, they are now 24-32-1 against the spread.
