    Reds over/under

    A few days ago Vegas released their over/under on the win total of MLB teams. So I thought it'd be a fun idea to start a Reds-related over/under thread. Here goes nothing!

    1.Joey Votto homeruns- 29.5. I say over.
    2.Aroldis Chapman IP- 150
    3.Johnny Cueto wins- 17.5
    4.Ryan Ludwick homeruns- 24.5
    5.Joey Votto RBIs- 109.5
    6.Todd Frazier homeruns- 19.5
    7.Jonathan Broxton saves- 29.5
    8.Choo OBP- .385
    9.Jay Bruce homeruns- 34.5
    10.Reds win total- 94.5
    11. Reds postseason wins- 2.5

    Granted, these are just a few of the very many I could do, so if you have any other interesting ones to add please feel free. Here are my guesses:

    1. Over. I'm thinking Votto comes closer to his 2010 power numbers than 2011.
    2. Under. I think he ends up back in the pen.
    3. Under. I think a slight regression in performance is coming for Cueto, and the starting pitchers in general this year may find a bit less luck with the win total if the bullpen isn't as dominant as it was last year.
    4. Under. I love Ludwick, but don't think he can match last year's performance.
    5. Over. I think Votto's going to have his best RBI season yet.
    6. Over. Frazier will no doubt hit his growing pains this year, but I think he has enough raw power to surpass 20 homers.
    7. Under. For this reason- I think Chapman ends up as the closer.
    8. Over.
    9. Over.
    10. Under. I'm thinking between 92-94 wins.
    11. Over. This number is much more important than the regular season number .

    2.Aroldis Chapman IP- 150
    3.Johnny Cueto wins- 17.5
    4.Ryan Ludwick homeruns- 24.5

    6.Todd Frazier homeruns- 19.5
    7.Jonathan Broxton saves- 29.5

    9.Jay Bruce homeruns- 34.5
    10.Reds win total- 94.5
    11. Reds postseason wins- 2.5

    1. Over. If he stays healthy all season he should hit 30+.
    2. Over. He will end up with 170+
    3. Under.
    4. Under.
    5. Over. Finally has decent table-setters.
    6. Under. Not a believer in Frazier.
    7. Over. He should get a lot of opportunities.
    8. Over. But it will be close.
    9. Over. 40+
    10. Under. Closer to 90 wins.
    11. Over.

    Re: Reds over/under

    1.Joey Votto homeruns- 29.5 Over - I think he hits right around 30-32 HR. He should get more pitches to hit this season.

    2.Aroldis Chapman IP- 150 Under - I chose under, but not by much. I think he'll throw around 140 innings.

    3.Johnny Cueto wins- 17.5 Over - With an improved offense, Cueto should have quality run support this season. 18-20 wins is possible.

    4.Ryan Ludwick homeruns- 24.5 Over - This one was very debatable to me. I'll go slightly over though as I think he has a chance to hit right around 25 HR.

    5.Joey Votto RBIs- 109.5 Over - Should have plenty of RBI opportunities with Choo/Phillips 1-2.

    6.Todd Frazier homeruns- 19.5 Over - He hit 19 last year. If he stays healthy he'll get more atbats this year. I'm going with around 22 HR.

    7.Jonathan Broxton saves- 29.5 Under - I think Marshall and Hoover will get a few save chances too. Broxton won't miss this number by much.

    8.Choo OBP- .385 Over - I think Choo is going to have a MVP type season. I'm thinking .390+ OBP.

    9.Jay Bruce homeruns- 34.5 Over - He's getting better each season. Might this be the year he cracks 40 HR?

    10.Reds win total- 94.5 Over - They won 97 last season, and added Choo this season. 95-100 wins is very possible.

    11. Reds postseason wins- 2.5 Over - I'm picking the Reds to win the NL Pennant.

    Very nice questions, with well placed data points I might add. Some truly were too close to call, but you asked for answers and you got them.

    Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

    That's usually a safe bet...

    Hey, I just noticed the "like" button is gone. I was going to hit yours Rick. Odd.

    Hmmm....after I refresh, it shows up after a few seconds. Strange.
