MLB Network insider Harold Reynolds joined the Dan Patrick Show to talk postseason baseball. They began by talking about the 111-win Los Angeles Dodgers, because why wouldn’t you talk about the best team in baseball?
Patrick asked him a simple question: “How big of favorites are the Dodgers? And how big of favorites should they be?”
Reynolds, who’s been with the MLB Network since 2009, clearly isn’t a huge fan of the Dodgers.
“Well I think they’re probably highly favored,” Reynolds said, “but I think they’re overrated with the favoritism.”
Okay so an insider doesn’t think the team with the best record and run differential in baseball is the favorite.
