Leagues Are Struggling to Deal With a Certain Type of Sports Bet
On June 15, in the bottom of the second inning of a game against the Seattle Mariners, Luis Ortiz, a right-handed pitcher for the Cleveland Guardians, threw a first-pitch slider to Randy Arozarena that missed low and away, bouncing in the dirt for ball 1. Less than two weeks later, in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals, Ortiz threw another first-pitch slider that missed well outside. Neither pitch seemed remarkable at the time. Major league starters routinely miss the strike zone dozens of times a game. Yet these two misses are now being scrutinized online because of their part in an MLB investigation into suspicious betting. In July the league announced it had placed Ortiz on nondisciplinary paid leave because of an unspecified investigation. ESPN reported that gambling integrity monitor IC360 had flagged unusual betting activity on those two pitches. The wagers in question, it said, were so-called in-game propositions, or props, on whether the first pitch of the inning would be a ball. (IC360 declined to comment on ESPN's reporting.) A few weeks later, MLB announced it had also put Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase on leave while it continued its 'sports betting investigation.' (The MLB Players Association agreed to the leaves. The Guardians, who've since cleared out the lockers of both players, released statements that said the team isn't permitted to comment on ongoing investigations.)
