A sports bettor is banking on a Shohei Ohtani to have a big year for the Angles!
Ohtani’s dual eligibility as a pitcher and a hitter make him a trendy name in the MVP futures market. We have seen a little bit of everything during Spring training.
Ohtani has only made two starts since the 2018 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, so many are excited about the prospects of him being exceptional as both a hitter and a starter.
With the possibility of accumulating big stats at both positions, Ohtani has become a trendy name in the MVP market. As William Hill notes, he has attracted the most total bets and money wagered.
Last week, there was more positive developments around the budding star.
Ohtani did leave his start on Monday night with a blister on his throwing hand, but it’s not expected to be serious.
