One oddsmaker says the Nationals’ Dave Martinez is likely to be the first manager fired this season.

Bye bye Dave Martinez.

Pedro Grifol and Dusty Baker, however, probably won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.

According to the odds from wagering site SportsBetting.ag, Nationals skipper Martinez is the favorite at 5-1 odds to be the first major league baseball manager fired this season

The Cubs’ David Ross is among a group in the middle of the pack at 25-1, along with Alex Cora of the Red Sox, Gabe Kapler of the Giants and Rocco Baldelli of the Twins.
