00:00All right, let's start with the beginning of the 2025 major league baseball season the tokyo series a two game set between the dodgers
00:08And the cubs and it got started this morning 6 10 a.m
00:13Eastern time game number one of this major league baseball campaign
00:17Is over the dodgers a victory to start a 4-1 win for la
00:23They were about a dollar and a half money line favorite and a total of seven and a hook does
00:29Stay under drs. Yoshinobu yamamoto gets the victory. It is for a start of the year for la
00:36Shohei otani scoring a couple of runs for the dodgers as well
00:40And la starts as we expect with a win when you have a pre-season win total of 104 and a hook
00:47You are going to need to stack up a ton of wins
00:49To even flirt with that pre-season win total the dodgers begin their season of 162 in the win column
00:57The game is over the game stayed under and also like if we are building this based on the fan blue sports book las vegas
01:03Whoever that's got to be bad for the books today, right?
01:06You know
01:06tony got a couple hits didn't get the rbi thought he might get
01:09The dodgers win the baseball game, which is the favorite everybody probably thought that was going to happen here
01:13At least general public speaking here and the under which usually we love when two-star pitchers on the mound to start the season in
01:19unfriendly territory or unfamiliar territory
01:22I should say so that game goes under at this point
01:24But also like get back to the point like this was major league baseball's unofficial start to the season
01:29And I don't understand it was played at 6 a.m
01:30Which is great because i'm up and I can watch it
01:32But even me like turning the game on no no excitement for me then like no like oh baseball's back in my life
01:38Like it didn't register, you know
01:40Next week on thursday
01:41It could really hit you like all the teams play and how ceremonious it is for opening day and the excitement where every team thinks
01:46They can make a world series run like you had two superstar laden teams
01:51You're playing at 6 a.m
01:52In the morning and quite frankly the joke was yesterday
01:54We showed up on set including me one of the biggest baseball guys who have oh
01:59I forgot baseball had a game tomorrow. That should never happen. Can you ben? Can you imagine the nfl?
02:05That's
02:06Packers eagles had no idea it was tomorrow. No, what other sport would do this to themselves only major league baseball
02:14The nhl does start out in eastern europe as well making the timing of it all seem a little bit peculiar
02:20I agree drs. It is clearly for the international brand and i'm sure they have done great in japan
02:25Especially with the japanese superstars that dot both of these lineups and even the starting rotations
02:31But to your point it does lack a little bit of luster here stateside, especially when it's a 6 10 a.m
02:37Eastern time start a little bit after 5 a.m. Central time local there in the windy city 3 10 a.m pacific time
02:45out in los angeles the dodgers the reigning world series champs the very short world series favorites at plus
02:55240 donny there is more than a six and a half dollar gap
02:59For the dodgers and everybody else to win a world series now in 2025
03:05These odds did not update after the dodgers won their first game of 162. That is the pre-season
03:11Expectation it is frankly ridiculous to see but that will be what the dodgers are anticipated for doing this year in 2025
03:19Yeah, the dodgers most you know
03:20What they won game one i've dropped them from plus 240 to minus one thirties of price because they're unstoppable
03:25Clearly because you're gonna get timely hitting great pitching which is exactly what you anticipate and also
03:30Have we ever solved it?
03:31I mean to be honest
03:32Have we ever saw plus 240 in a nine to one before the season opened up as a too close?
03:36It can't I can't imagine there's been that big of a gap but also understanding this like betting wise, right?
03:41If you said right now like hey, the dodger is going to win the world series
03:44Okay, put money down, but you're not getting paid seven eight nine months from now
03:48Does it make a smart investment usually want to wrap your money up tens of 120 to one if you feel you have an opinion
03:53But I can't even disagree with this
03:55They are so deep and talented bennett every baseball season. I take a look at it's not even like what the dodgers look like
04:01On opening day, it's you know, when they get to the deadline they can afford any player in baseball
04:07They have the best prospects in baseball and they don't care about the amount of money or capital has to spend to get those players
04:12here like we weren't long ago where
04:14Like many machado was on the dodgers, you know
04:16Like max scherzer and trey turner got traded to the like we forget about what the moves they do like
04:21Oh, that'll bury you for a long time because you didn't get anything back in return when machado went somewhere else like no
04:26It doesn't matter like this team this version of the dodgers on opening day barring again disastrous injury
04:33The version will be better after the deadline and you see the price point that it is right now
04:37I'm not saying bet the dodgers at this point because i'm not betting them at plus 240 but that price point ben 100 warranted
04:44And it is drs and today they weren't even at a full 100 health mookie bets did not play
04:49Dealing with that illness as you shared either freddie freeman a late scratch
04:54Out of this lineup two perennial all-stars two of the best players in major league baseball not there and the dodgers still handle business
05:01Winning four to one yoshi yamamoto five innings of work only three base knocks allowed
05:06Just a single earned run in the bullpen holding down the fort for la game number two tomorrow
05:136 10 a.m
05:14Eastern time the dodgers will be booked as a favorite roki. Sasaki makes his mlb debut for los angeles, but in
