MLB Totals Contest (2011)

Fourth annual! This year I took the over/unders for each team from Bookmaker, adjusting slightly to avoid pushes.

Each person will take the over or under on 10 teams, whichever teams you want as long as you don't pick the same one twice. To complicate things, you'll need to assign a confidence rating to each of your picks, ranging from 10 (most confident) to 1 (least).

Here are the totals:

Arizona- 72.5
Atlanta- 88.5
Baltimore- 76.5
Boston- 94.5
Chicago C- 82.5
Chicago W- 85.5
Cincinnati- 86.5
Cleveland- 71.5
Colorado- 87.5
Detroit- 84.5
Florida- 81.5
Houston- 71.5
Kansas City- 69.5
LA Angels- 82.5
LA Dodgers- 83.5
Milwaukee- 85.5
Minnesota- 84.5
NY Mets- 76.5
NY Yankees- 90.5
Oakland- 83.5
Philadelphia- 95.5
Pittsburgh- 67.5
San Diego- 75.5
San Francisco- 88.5
Seattle- 69.5
St. Louis- 83.5
Tampa Bay- 83.5
Texas- 87.5
Toronto- 76.5
Washington- 72.5

The tiebreaker will be Shin-Soo Choo's on-base percentage. Please include a tiebreaker with your submission, it's really not that difficult.

Once you've figured out which teams you're taking, and your tiebreaker, send your entry to vegaswatch@gmail.com. Give me some kind of name, or initals, so I can identify you when I post standings.

A sample entry would look like this:

Entry name: ndotsmitty

10. Cleveland O71.5
9. NY Yankees U90.5
8. LA Angels U82.5
7. Tampa Bay O83.5
6. Chicago W U85.5
5. Minnesota U84.5
4. Colorado O87.5
3. San Diego O75.5
2. Seattle O69.5
1. Toronto U76.5

Tiebreaker: .610

Hopefully this is obvious, but N Dot would receive 10 points if the Indians win 72 or more games, nine points if the Yankees win 90 or fewer, and so on.

The winner of the contest will receive $300. The deadline for entry submissions is 1:05pm EST on Thursday, March 31. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments.
