The idea that the Orioles probably aren’t going to be very good this year has been obvious since long before they limped to a 47-115 finish last season. Even with the hiring of new general manager Mike Elias offering hope for the future, there’s not much he can do about the MLB squad this year. The gambling world has noticed.
Caesar’s Palace posted the first preseason win total numbers on Tuesday night and the Orioles, no surprise, are the lowest by far, with an over/under at just 59 wins. Anyone who wants to bet the over has to think that the Orioles will win 60 or more games.
