2024 MLB Win Totals: Best Bets
Let’s exploit the market while we can.
White Sox OVER 39.5 Wins (-154)
Crazier things have happened, but I'd be amazed if the White Sox couldn't win at least 40 games in 2024. The fewest single-season win total is 42 set by the Tigers in 2003. The Sox are currently on pace for 39 wins, meaning they're expected to win just 10 of the remaining 40 games. That's horrendous.
I believe Chicago's managerial switch will inspire the club a little bit and at least get them north of 40 wins. The sportsbooks seem to agree with me, too.
Tigers OVER 78.5 Wins (-146)
The Tigers may have AL Cy Young favorite Tarik Skubal, but they're in for a tough matchup in a competitive AL Central housing the Royals, Twins, and dark-horse World Series contender Guardians. Detroit is currently on pace for exactly 78 wins, which suggests the UNDER is a strong play, but here's the catch.
Detroit has seven games remaining against the White Sox. In a perfect world, the Sox can steal some of those games and cash both our best bets. Regardless, Detroit has the easiest remaining schedule in baseball, pushing me toward the OVER on its win total, even at a chalky value.
