Summary
Chris and Rob tell us why Major League Baseball would be better off if Shohei Ohtani leaves the Los Angeles Angels for a marquee franchise, explain why they doubt Anthony Davis will play consistently great for the Los Angeles Lakers down the homestretch and take a trip out to Shekel City for Rob’s nightly bets. Plus, MLB analyst and MLBBro.com contributor Gary Sheffield Jr swings by to share his thoughts on the new MLB rules, why he holds the New York Yankees in such high regard, the likelihood that Ohtani stays with the Angels long-term and much more!
