Here is Vegas' Over Under Wins Total for the 2023 Cleveland Guardians
In this story:
BETMGM recently released its over/under win totals, now available for betting.
The casino has the Cleveland Guardians at 87.5 wins.
The Guardians greatly exceeded expectations in 2022, winning 92 games and the American League Central division title. It was Cleveland's fourth division title in seven years.
After a relatively slow start with the league's youngest roster, the Guardians went 46-26 in the second half of last season, running away with the AL Central. Cleveland finished 11 games better than the division's second place team, the Chicago White Sox. The Guardians added Josh Bell and Mike Zunino to a very strong lineup, and hope to improve in 2023.
Zunino and Bell will add some needed power to a club that primarily hit for contact in 2022. The Guardians posted the second-lowest total of home runs last season, but had baseball's lowest strikeout rate and highest contact rate. Adding a couple of sluggers to a strong lineup should make the Guardians better in 2023.
The Guardians likely will not benefit from Major League Baseball's new schedule, where teams will play less games against division opponents. Now each club will play all 29 other MLB teams, each season. The AL Central was the weakest division in the American League a season ago. The Guardians will play fewer games against weak teams in their division.
The Guardians can win four fewer games than they did a season ago, and still finish at 88 wins, above the 87.5 win threshold.
I expect the Guardians to finish above 87.5 wins. I think the team will move forward with the momentum it had in the second half of last season. The Guardians' young roster will improve with seasoning, and I think Cleveland is a legitimate contender to win the American League.
Here's a list of all 30 teams' over/under win totals from BETMGM.
