And Shohei Ohtani, DRS, is a minus 550 favorite to win his second consecutive National League MVP award.
00:07
Yeah, and I take a look at him, and it's almost like you feel more confident that he's at minus 550
00:11
than you do Aaron Judge at a minus 1,300 price because of what we're starting to talk about
00:16
and how this season is going to play out.
00:18
The Dodgers, you know, are battling for first place.
00:21
The expectations are they're going to be in first place here the rest of the way.
00:24
But also, you know what helps Shohei Ohtani even a little bit more?
00:27
Let's just say the Dodgers have big games coming down the stretch in August and September,
00:31
and they didn't run away with it, Ben, as a 20-game lead on September 15th, and you shut it down
00:35
because that means when Ohtani is starting to extend himself on the mound, going one inning now
00:39
after post-All-Star break back up to like five innings, and let's just say he's getting really good starts
00:44
in August and September in meaningful games, he's going to skyrocket
00:47
because the one thing about Ohtani is I know you can't predict the future,
00:51
but do we see like, man, what happened to Ohtani last 45 days hitting 125 at the plate with one home run?
00:56
That's not happening.
00:57
He's going to steal a ton of bases.
00:58
He's pitching now, and you always know he's going to be the leader somewhere around there
01:01
in the RBI market when he bats first as sort of a hindrance,
01:04
but the home run market, he'll be right up there as well.
01:07
That minus 550 price right now probably still is a steal, but as Ben pointed out,
01:10
we've been telling you, the plus 140s, the plus 120s, the minus 200s, they're going to be gone.
01:15
And the same thing with that minus 550, that's going to be gone as well.
01:18
It's like, hey, do I want to buy Bitcoin at 100 grand when I could have bought it at 49 grand?
01:22
Well, how about if we told you that you could buy Bitcoin at 100 grand and next year it's 250 grand?
01:27
Well, yeah, there's no value behind it if you put it into real world terms.
01:30
Ohtani minus 550, I just see that as like a baseline price right now that's only going to get higher.
