OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[zeke]

Do the odds actually mean anything in the sense that the oddmakers know anything more than what's in the news?

Often yes. Especially when you see a big swing.

 

[Preston]

Fanduel is now at +105. So in other words if we factor in the house edge we're talking a roughly 42-43% chance. Dodgers at 53-54%. It's effectively a coin flip at this rate tbh.

 

[Bleedsblue&white]

Or maybe Jays fans are betting....

 

[Preston]

Yeah that impacts the lines as well

 

[zeke]

I have a hard time believing a bunch of jays fans started laying money on ohtani coming.

 

[Deckie007]

Retail market doesn't really move lines, big money does. So could be something there.

 

[MindzEye]

big money does.

They know

 

[Feyd]

Can't believe I'm posting a Simmons article but worth a read

Rogers dropping the NHL rights would be amazing, but it's Simmons and I don't want to give the Sun the traffic, so bleh.

 

[Preston]

Depends which line. I've bet on exhibition darts before and definitely have moved the lines.




Unrelated but can anyone recommend any rehabs in toronto?

 

[Artnes]

If I believe anyone about MLB rumors, its British tabloids

[LeafOfFaith]

It's happening almost for sure at this point.

That buzzy feeling from last week is full on spider sense tingling now.

 

[zeke]

congrats, lof!

 

[manny]

Not too soon to start dunking on Atkins skeptics

 

[Aberdeen]

Finally some real experts chime in...

I thought that Berger died.

 

[mbow30]

I just put all my savings in ohtani to jays.

 

[mbow30]

Shorted shohei to dodgers

 

[MindzEye]

I thought that Berger died.

Just his career, hopes, dreams, etc

 

[UWHabs]

So when Shohei signs with the Jays, what does everyone think the hot takes will be? Are you thinking "He's not as good as people hype him up to be?", or "Jays just saddled themselves with a generation albatross contract", or are we leaning "this means Guerrero and Bichette are leaving because they can't afford them"? Or even just the simple "spent so much on one roster spot leaving too many holes on the rest of the team"?
