You'll get good odds on the Pirates though. They are listed at 73.5 (-120u)

Well, if the best pic you can come up with for season totals is the Astros at under 62, I gotta question your expertise a little. Last year was the first year in the franchises 50 year history a team lost over a hundred games. I'm not a handicapper, but i'd say the chances of them repeating that abysmal feat - statistically - is pretty low. No matter how bad they look on paper.
I looked at the totals and it looks like there's a ton of safer bets:
Milwaukee at 82 - over. The Brewers finished 96-66 last season. Apparently, this handicapper thinks Prince Fielder won all those games on his own. Even if Ryan Braun's 50 game suspension goes through, they're still good for over 82 wins. which brings us to our next team.
Detroit Tigers at 94 - over. Now that's a bold predictions, but Prince Fielder together with Miguel Cabrera, and their pitching staff, they're gonna be good this year. Especially in the shitty AL Central.
Marlins at 82 - over. With Ozzie Guillen taking over, Jose Reyes, Emilio Bonifacio, Hanley Ramirez, Mike Stanton, Logan Morrison and Gaby Sanchez in the batting order, and adding Mark Buerhle to the bullpen, they're gonna be good this year.
New York Mets at 74 - under. The Mets are gonna suck this year. They lost Reyes, their pitching is terrible. Plus, i'm a Phillies fan so fuck the Mets.
Oakland A's at 72 - under. They lost almost their whole pitching staff and Josh Willingham, they're gonna be shit this year.
I'd say all of those are safer bets than the Stros.

That's a very well thought out and reasoned response, i'm sure you made a ton of money betting on the post-season last year.
