Where do the D-backs stand in the thick of the playoff race and are they a good bet to make the playoffs? What about NL and AL MVP? Is it worth sprinkling a little bit of money on Ketel Marte to bring home the award or look elsewhere to the current favorite in Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani?
That, plus we delve into the newest NFL Rookie of the Year odds including Cardinals’ very own Marvin Harrison Jr. Is the 4th overall draft selection worth wagering to have the best rookie season out of the entire rookie class? We here at Let it Ride sure think so!
