The Dodgers finished on top of the National League’s West Division last season with a record of 100-62. Reaching 100 wins is considered a tremendous achievement for any team. Though Los Angeles did achieve a 100 win season, they were not able to convert that regular season success into a championship.
The Texas Rangers won the World Series last year. This offseason the Dodgers signed perennial player in Major League Baseball Shohei Ohtani, who in addition to winning awards for his pitching is also amongst the best hitters in all of baseball.
Ohtani has been at the center of controversy recently over allegations that he was placing bets through his ex-translator, who was busted for sports gambling and allegedly stealing money from Ohtani.
There is no evidence to suggest that Ohtani was placing bets through his ex-translator. The superstar has denied any wrongdoing, and ever placing a bet on any sport. The controversy, though dismissed by Ohtani, continues to grow, as fans often compare his situation with that of Pete Rose, arguably the greatest hitter in the history of the sport whose career was cut down because of sports betting. Rose did not shave points, nor was he ever accused of doing so. He only placed bets on himself, and his own team.
