Shohei Signing Mildly Shakes Odds
In case you were living under a rock and didn't hear the "700 million" alarm sound over the weekend, here's your notice that Shohei Ohtani is officially a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Magic Johnson and The Blue Crew brass didn't spare any expense in landing the most coveted free agent, perhaps ever, in Major League Baseball.
The signing was already mostly factored in to the 2024 MLB futures odds at the sportsbook, but there was still some movement in regards to World Series and pennant odds for both the Dodgers and Blue Jays (who were adjusted down based on recent reports of Toronto signing Ohtani).
Below are the changes from SportsBetting.ag. If you are able to use this information, please consider citing the source.
