00:00the Los Angeles Dodgers famously Dave Roberts said earlier in the offseason he's like yeah I
00:05think we're good and then the next day they signed Edwin Diaz and then two months later they signed
00:09Kyle Tucker so yeah of course they're good but from a sports betting perspective Tom I always
00:14caution people their win total is 104 and a half I mean pounding it over like this is just so silly
00:22so many things can happen over the course of the season for this to push it under I always warn
00:26people of this not to mention that if the Dodgers are as good Tom as they say they won't even play
00:32their guys in the last week of the season so it's not that it's a definitive under here just saying
00:37that there's much better odds to find I think in baseball this season than just immediately
00:41rushing to be a prisoner of the moment even though the Dodgers obviously on paper are as good or
00:46better than anybody else right and and a part of it for me would be not only their win total their
00:52division odds which are unbettable the NL odds or the World Series odds you know frankly a two to one
00:58number on the World Series or two and a half to one like I personally I don't want to keep that locked
01:02up for 10 months at this point when you're getting such short odds on it and frankly the Dodgers are
01:08going to be I'm going to say largely unbettable on a day in and day up basis they're going to be
01:12minus 250 minus 300 now there are alternate ways to go about it a run total is always going to be
01:17interesting can they go over four and a half five and a half runs and more often than not if they do go over
01:22five and a half it's going to be 79 10 runs whatever it might be so there's better ways to
01:26bet the Dodgers than having some type of season-long future on them and then to your point you know
01:30they're going to have at some point they give an eight-game lead come September and then they do
01:34ease off of guys you know Freddie and Mookie dealt with a ton of injuries last year and then they're
01:38just healthy to go into October and then yeah they fall short of their win total but they won the
01:43division handling
