While it is only January, it is never too early to discuss Washington Nationals futures bets. On Tuesday, OddsShark tweeted out the first MLB over/under win total numbers of the season and the Nats over/under is set at 88.5 wins.
It is the highest of the National League East teams by 4.5 games, with the Atlanta Braves coming in at 84. In the rest of the N.L., only the Los Angeles Dodgers at 95 wins and Chicago Cubs with 89 have higher totals. The St. Louis Cardinals also boasts an 88.5 win total.
There are a few significant factors that warrant discussion on the Nats win total.
