I would never bet on a team to win or lose 100 games. I will always, always take the under.
Sure, teams can lose 100 games. They can lose 119, like the Tigers did. But they probably won’t. Baseball is generally competitive, and the thing is that if you are terrible enough to lose more than 100 games, you will probably have a stopgap solution to your worst problems. A team has to be both very bad and very unlucky to lose 100 games.
The Reds aren’t good, but I really don’t think they’re THAT bad. There’s some talent on that roster. Last year’s worst team, the Phillies, lost 99 games, and you can’t tell me the Reds are worse than the Phillies were last year.
