  • The Athletics have the lowest MLB win total ever tracked at 57.5.
  • Oakland won 50 games last year, but is projected to improve by double-digit wins.

The Oakland Athletics are preparing for a potential move to Las Vegas and donโ€™t seem to care much about their current on-field product before the move.

Oakland posted a 50-win season last year after a 60-win campaign in 2022. According to the latest MLB betting odds, the Athletics appear to have another 100-loss season on deck this summer.

Athletics Futures Odds

Win Total: 57.5
AL West: +25000
AL Pennant: +25000
World Series: +50000

The Athletics are long shots by every MLB odds market, and their win total is below 60 for the second year in a row. Oakland had a win total of 59.5 last season.

Oaklandโ€™s over/under for 2024 is the lowest MLB win total ever tracked in the database at sportsoddshistory.com, which dates back to the 1990 season.

Athletics Offseason Moves

The Athletics can only go up after winning 50 games last year, a process that started with several notable signings over the winter.

Oakland has some new starting pitching options after bringing in Wood and Stripling.

Wood spent three seasons with the Giants, making 68 starts and tossing a 4.41 ERA across 367 total innings. Stripling also spent last year in San Francisco, going 0-5 with a 5.36 ERA in 22 appearances.

The Athletics hope the additions to their staff will help a group that ranked 29th in team ERA (5.68) last year.

Athletics 2024 Betting Prediction

Prediction: Athletics over 57.5 wins (-110)

The Athletics are the baseball betting favorites to finish with the fewest wins in the regular season, but there are a few contenders in the mix. The Nationals, Rockies, and White Sox are all projected to be pretty bad.

It feels gross to take an over on Oaklandโ€™s win total, but this number is so low because of that exact reason.

PECOTA projects 64.8 wins for the Athletics, while FanGraphs has them finishing with a 70.9-91.1 clip. Both sites have multiple teams finishing behind them in terms of total wins.

Take advantage of a discount on the team that won just 50 games last year. Never thought Iโ€™d say that.
