Setting The Over/Under on Albert Pujols Home Runs In 2012

Albert Pujols has been off to a terrible start; that much is obvious. But views on how we will look back on Albert's 2012 in years to come are varied, with some saying he is already done, some saying he will still be the MVP of the American League, and even Jim Edmonds (Jim Edmonds! Where has he been?) chipping in on the topic.


More important than trying to predict how Pujols' season will play out, however, is trying to make money off successfully doing so. With that in mind, we are setting our hypothetical Over/Under of Albert Pujols 2012 Home Runs at 29.5.

What do you think? Over or Under?

In Pujols' 11 full seasons in the Majors (before the start of this season) he has averaged roughly 6.5-7 HR's per month, with a pretty even spread across the months of the season. With 5 months left in the 2012 season, it's very reasonable to expect Albert to get back to somewhere near this level of production, and throw up close to 30 HR's after this horror start.

But will he get there?
