Ohtani Favored for 50-50

Before the season started, Ronald Acuna Jr. had 20/1 odds to become the first 50-50 player in MLB history, which equated to about an 8% chance.

Acuna Jr. was the only player the oddsmakers listed after coming off his 40-70 campaign in 2023, but how could they have overlooked Shohei Ohtani?

SportsBetting.ag started offering Ohtahi 50-50 Club odds back on August 19. That day, he was around 2/1 odds to achieve the feat.

Nine days later (August 28), the odds had worsened slighted (5/2 or +250), but now we have an entirely different story.

Ohtani swiped three bags last night, which now puts him at 46 stolen bases and 44 home runs. He has 24 games to top those off, and the odds suggest he'll do it.

Will Shohei Ohtani become member of 50-50 Club?

Yes       -225

No       +160

(Note: Odds imply a 69.2% probability of 50 home runs, 50 stolen bases by Ohtani)

Will Aaron Judge hit 63 or more home runs?

Yes       +170

No        -250

Will Aaron Judge win the Triple Crown?

Yes       +425

No        -800

(Note: Odds imply a 19% probability of a Triple Crown by Judge)

Will Marcell Ozuna win the Triple Crown?

Yes       +700

No        -1600

(Note: Odds imply a 12.5% probability of a Triple Crown by Ozuna)
