MLB All-Star Break Shocker: Which Dark Horse Teams Are Poised to Dominate the Second Half?

There are roughly 65 games remaining for each team this season. That gives us a pretty good indication of what the team is, and where they are likely to go. The Athletics’ win total is set at 68.5 and they currently have won 41 games. That’s about 40% of their games, and if we see how many wins is equivalent to winning 40% of their remaining schedule, we get 26. Which puts them at 67 games. Again, we have a good amount of info on the team, and we can use some math to help us get the remainder of the way. The Athletics have been slightly better than that record shows – there was a massive losing streak that keeps this from being a bit higher of a number. I also could see them trading some arms. So, personally, I won’t touch this, but I do think the over is the right play. I brought them up because it was an easy example.
