00:00Now let's get to the fun stuff here on the West Coast.
00:02The Dodgers expected to run over everybody, Tom, in Major League Baseball.
00:06103 and a half is their total here for their wins on the season.
00:10You take a look at the opening day starter.
00:12Zach Allen's no slouch here.
00:13He's a plus 190.
00:14Get used to it.
00:15Going up against Yamamoto and the Dodgers at a minus 230 price.
00:18There will be no discounts this year, Tom, on the Los Angeles Dodgers.
00:23Yamamoto, glass now, Otani to start the season.
00:26That's not fair, Tom.
00:28It's just not fair.
00:30It's not fair.
00:31It's not fair knowing what they have at the back end of the rotation,
00:34especially as Blake Snell gets healthier as the season goes on once he gets back in there.
00:38But it's a crazy price to see a plus 190 for a team that's going to be in the wildcard
00:44hunt.
00:44That's where the Diamondbacks are expected to be.
00:46They're going to be plus 190 on this money line,
00:48but they're expected to be fighting for a playoff spot.
00:51Frankly, when it comes to the Dodgers' win total, everyone's talking about 103.
00:56I see that as a one-sided bet.
00:58It means you have to take the under.
00:59I can't bet the over on that.
01:00There's so little room for error that going through a streak where they play 500 baseball for a two-week
01:06stretch,
01:07that puts them so far behind the eight ball.
01:09It leaves them no room in order to hit the over.
01:12So the expectation for the Dodgers are always going to be sky high as long as they have this core
01:16group of players.
01:16But, man, minus 200 or over that on the money line is nuts.
01:21Great.
01:22Like, they have unbelievable starting pitching, an unbelievable bullpen now.
01:25So, and one of the best closers in baseball, Edwin Diaz, away from the Mets here.
01:28And then he said, you know what?
01:29Our lineup is really stacked up here.
01:31You know, let's throw Kyle Tucker onto the logs here as a free agent there in January.
01:35And, oh, yeah, Sean Ohtani is your leadoff batter who hit .282 last year with 55 bombs, stole 20 bases.
01:41And now he's going to pitch even more this season, Tom.
01:44Answer me this.
01:45If Ohtani doesn't get hurt for a long stretch, he's the MVP, right?
01:50Yeah, we know it.
01:52We know it.
01:52If he doesn't get hurt for a long stretch, even if he's an average pitcher and has a 3-7
01:57or 4 ERA,
01:59if he's pitching and still has a strikeouts and he has 30-90 for home runs and RBIs, he's going
02:05to win MVP.
