Las Vegas - Seven-inning doubleheaders and runners on second base to start extra innings will return this season, but not the DH in the National League. So, if someone will buy me some peanuts and Crackerjacks, I'll throw out a couple of Over/Under season win totals. Looking down South to Florida, no not Tampa, but rather Miami, and gonna go Over 71.5 wins. The Marlins won 31 of the 60 games played last season, and should have no trouble getting close to .500.

Of course revenge enters into the equation, but can't see Oregon getting past SC's size. And then there's the Mobley brothers. Evan, the freshman, the Pac-12 Player of the Year and a legit high 1st round NBA draft pick, is a load.
