With the 2023 MLB Opening Day of March 30 fast approaching, BetMGM released win totals for all 30 teams. Below, you’ll see all of those MLB win totals, two best bets to consider and our exclusive BetMGM offer to take advantage of now.
Three American League teams (the Astros, Yankees and Blue Jays) have 90-plus game win totals while four National League teams do (the Dodgers, Mets, Braves and Padres). Meanwhile, three AL teams have sub 70-game win totals (the Athletics, Royals and Tigers) while four NL teams do (the Nationals, Reds, Pirates and Rockies). Scroll down to take a look at all of them below by division.

Cardinals over 89.5 Wins -110 at BetMGM
In my opinion, the NL Central is going to be the weakest in baseball this season and no team has a 90-plus win projection, which is a bit odd. After signing Willson Contreras to take over for the retired Yadier Molina, St. Louis’ lineup is going to be dangerous from top to bottom. Reigning NL MVP Paul Goldschmidt and star Nolan Arenado will produce in the middle of the order while Tommy Edman, Brendan Donovan, Juan Yepez, Lars Nootbaar and Dylan Carlson are young productive players with upside. Tyler O’Neill is coming off of a down year and if he rebounds, he can vault this above-average lineup into an elite one. St. Louis ranked 5th in runs scored last year and there are some top prospects (most notably Jordan Walker and Alec Burleson) who could produce in 2023.
On the mound, Adam Wainwright will return for his final season while Miles Mikolas, Jordan Montgomery, Jack Flaherty and Steven Matz will likely round out the rotation. I also expect youngster Matthew Liberatore to enter the rotation at some point this year. With Ryan Helsley, Giovanny Gallegos, Jordan Hicks and Andre Pallante in the bullpen, I’m confident that this team will be able to navigate and handle their competition. If they make some preseason or in-season moves, expect an impact arm or two, but I expect this team to win at least 90 games in the regular season.
Mets under 95.5 Wins -110 at BetMGM
I am not sold on the Mets at all this year. With Jacob deGrom gone, Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander will be at the top of New York’s rotation and while both are still as dominant as ever, they’re still both nearing 40 years old and have spent time injured in recent years. Should we expect them to log close to 200 innings at this point in their careers? No. Other than them, do you really trust Jose Quintana, Carlos Carrasco, Tyler Megill, David Person or newcomer Kodai Senga against a ridiculously talented AL East? I don’t and their starting rotation will consist of some combination of those options.
I also am not in love with their lineup. Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil are solid OBP guys, but outside of Pete Alonso, there are no proven elite power hitters on this squad. Francisco Lindor has been inconsistent during his time in New York, Starling Marte will enter the season injured, and guys like Dan Vogelbach, Mark Canha, Eduardo Escobar and Omar Narvaez will likely round out the rest of the order. This is not a 96-plus win team in my opinion and I wouldn’t be shocked if they completely missed the playoffs since the Braves and Phillies are both clearly better in my eyes.
