This is one expensive bet.
San Diego Padres infielder Manny Machado is extremely confident in the abilities of his team. How confident exactly? The 26-year-old boldly fired back at a Los Angeles Dodgers fan that his squad would win a World Series before his team does.
He put some extra mustard on it by betting his entire $300 million contract on it.
Not sure if he meant this year or over the next few years, because the Padres are currently 42-45, good for 4th place in the NL West.
Meanwhile, the Dodgers are in first place and have been to the World Series the past two years, losing to the Astros and Red Sox in both years.
