Good times

Well, Bovada is slightly more optimistic about the Twins this season. Last year, their season over-under win total line was set at 67.5. And anyone who took the over action looked to be in good shape until a late slide kept Minnesota stuck on 66 for the second consecutive season. This year? The numbers were just released, and the Twins are at 70.5. Yes, that translates into 91.5 losses -- another 90-loss season -- but it's three games more optimistic than a year ago.

We'll do Bovada a few better. We would take the over. We think the Twins cruise past 70 and get up to around 74-77 wins this year -- not perfect, but closer to .500 at least and not another 90-loss year.

Your thoughts on the line, our prediction or Glen Perkins' facial hair maturity in the comments, please.
