Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy is well known for placing massive bets on sports.
He was back at it again this week.
Portnoy placed a $200,000 bet on the Philadelphia Phillies to win the 2024 World Series. They have +600 odds to win it all based on DraftKings sportsbook.
If the Phillies do the unthinkable, Dave Portnoy could win nearly $1.5 million.
As of right now, the Philadelphia Phillies have the best record in all of baseball as the halfway mark of the season approaches, sitting at 52-26.
They have an incredible eight-game lead over last year’s regular-season leaders, the Atlanta Braves. Everybody else in the National League East is under .500.
