The Washington Nationals may have lost Bryce Harper, but the Vegas oddsmakers did not flinch in regards to the team’s outlook.
In January, DistrictOnDeck analyzed the Nationals over/under win total, which at the time was set at 88.5.
We speculated that if Harper did indeed leave, the win total would drop a few wins.
While Harper did in fact leave, the Nationals win total did not drop.
As of this week, the Nationals win total is still at 88.5, according to OddsShark.com.
At the time, the Nats were the favorites to win the National League East.
