The oddsmakers at BetDSI Sportsbook have Ohtani Fever as much as all those baseball scouts and writers tripping over themselves as they try to make amends for casting doubt on the Japanese star after his putrid spring training.
BetSDI is listing Shohei Ohtani as the favorite to win the American League MVP, No. 1 even over his Los Angeles Angels teammate Mike Trout and reigning MVP Jose Altuve of the Houston Astros.
BetSDI also had Tiger Fever, posting Tiger Woods as the favorite to win the Masters, so proceed cautiously.
But caution has been thrown to the wind after two Ohtani starts on the mound — against Oakland — and 19 plate appearances.
