91-71. Unless MLB is planning on adding to the 162 game regular season schedule
I said 91
The answer is 102. 81 wins will put them at .500. They need 82 wins to be "over .500". Therefore, to be 20 games over .500, they will have 102 wins. I voted for the 101 since it was the only choice.
Basing this on the win total being 101 to be over .500, their record would be 101-61 (assuming they play all of their scheduled games) would give them a 40 game differential between wins and losses. If their record is 91-71, that differential would be 20 games and only 10 wins over .500. Another example would be if their record is 86-76. The win-loss differential would be 10 and they would be 5 games over .500.
