Every year I take on 25 bets for the upcoming baseball season. The bets I take on are player prop bets such as over/under for batting average, hits, home runs, etc… I also take on bets for teams such as over/under for wins.

In 2009, I went 64 percent on my bets. Good, but not great. In 2010, I went 48 percent on my bets. Last year, I came in at the 48 percent mark again.

After bringing my family much shame and embarrassing their good name, I am looking to redeem myself in 2011. Here are my 25 bets for the baseball season.
