Another betting story tied to the Los Angeles Dodgers?! This time, Dodgers haters can't theorize LA was up to something nefarious. And the reason is absolutely hilarious.
Guardians starter Luis Ortiz was placed on non-disciplinary paid leave on July 3 in connection to a gambling probe, and Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase followed not long after for the same reason. Sporadic and vague updates throughout the rest of the season, along with some amateur internet sleuths doing what they do best, slowly made it seem very possible that whatever the pitchers were up to was going to be a massive story.
