Jason Smith: “If I said to you, you have to make a bet. To win the World Series – you can take the Dodgers or the Field. I would always take the field, I will still take the field, because so many things have to happen. If you take the field, you’re guaranteed to have a 50% chance of winning, right? No matter what, somebody not named the Dodgers is making the World Series. Number two, so many things have to go right for a team to win it all. The Dodgers have to navigate injuries, hopefully Mookie Betts is ok, but stuff like that will sink you.”
Mike Harmon: “Right now you can get odds of +200 for any team from the state of California to win the World Series, you get New York at +440, Pennsylvania at 10-to-1, Texas at 11-to-1, Illinois at 27-to-1...how about this, for the NL West, the Dodgers to win it, you’d have to bet $700 to win $100.”
Jason Smith and Mike Harmon discuss if they’d rather take the Dodgers or the field to win the 2025 World Series.
