00:00But the one thing we do know is the Dodgers are the prohibitive favorite to win the National League and the World Series

00:06So it'd be no surprise that the best player from the best team would again be in that NDP race

00:12We take a look at the FanDuel Sportsbook as it sits right now the odds

00:15Shohei Otani plus 1.45 to win the NDP followed by Juan Soto at a plus 5.50 price

00:21Datis, Betts, Harper, Tucker, Eli De La Cruz after that

00:25So let's start once again at the top of the heap the NDP. Does it start and end for you Mark with Shohei Otani?

00:32Not from a betting perspective

00:34Yeah, when you look at kind of again, is there a ton of value there?

00:38No

00:38I mean you may want to wait to see if

00:40Otani dips and gets to a three to one number or four to one number at some point in the season for whatever reason

00:46And then charges back and wins the thing. I already placed the future on Juan Soto to win the NL MVP

00:52Mm-hmm. I mean, you know, you know what won the AL MVP last year if the guy judge wasn't batting in front of him

01:00so

01:02you know, he's only got to compete with really Otani and you know

01:13You saw what it did for judge last year

01:15It may do the same thing for Pete Alonzo this year if you want to look at his home run prop or anything else

01:20MVP caliber year, but nonetheless I have enough faith in Juan Soto to be able to change this market pretty quickly and

01:28And over the course of the season, I think you'll see those two. It should be a two-horse race between those two
