You got to be a sucker to bet on baseball, the regular season is all streaks. That said, I wouldn't put the Astros under 62 games for the year, no way are they gonna finish with a 100 loss season. They got Jonathan Singleton and Jarred Cosart from the Phils for Pence last year - both top prospects. Who knows if they'll get moved up from AA this year though. They got a couple of other good prospects in the minors, just depends on how well they're managed. They could shape up to be an average team.
I would bet that the Pirates finish over .500 this year.
