The right-handed ace turned pro at age 18, and has pitched lights-out the last several seasons. He won the Eiji Sawamura Award three times, which is Japan\u2019s equivalent of the Cy Young Award for best pitcher.<\/p>\n<p>During his tenure with the Orix Buffaloes, Yamamoto posted a 75-30 record with a 1.72 ERA and 0.92 WHIP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In 2023, Yamamoto posted eye-popping stats. He went 16-6 with a 1.21 ERA and a 6-to-1 strikeout ratio. He allowed only two home runs in 164 innings.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yamamoto is only 5-foot-10, but relies on a six-pitch arsenal including a nasty splitter and knee-buckling curveball.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Fastball &amp; Curveball, Overlay.<br \/>Also see his unique curveball release.<br \/>One of the prettiest RHP curveballs in the world!<\/p>\n<p>Yamamoto: 16-5, 1.42 ERA (170 innings) and has won his last 13 decisions.<br \/>Leads NPB in nearly every major pitching category. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GgeQul7q27\">pic.twitter.com\/GgeQul7q27<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Rob Friedman (@PitchingNinja) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PitchingNinja\/status\/1444328786816684043?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 2, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Dodgers Outbid Teams for Yamamoto<\/h2>\n<p>More than half the league wanted to sign Yamamoto. But the field narrowed to the Dodgers and six other teams. The New York Yankees, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/new-york-mets-trade-max-scherzer-texas-rangers\/\">New York Mets<\/a>, Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies, and Toronto Blue Jays all met with Yamamoto.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/new-york-yankees-losing-streak-28-years\/\">Yankees had one of their worst seasons<\/a> in 30 years, and hoped to change their luck with Yamamoto. They offered him $300 million and set aside jersey #18, which is a lucky and honorable number coveted among Japanese players. The Dodgers outbid the Yankees with an additional $25 million.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Over the last week, the Mets emerged as potential front-runners to sign Yamamoto. Team owner Steve Cohen flew to Japan to persuade Yamamoto to become the Mets&#8217; next ace.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers have now spent more than $1 billion on two of the most talented Japanese players from their generation. They also inked two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani to a 10-year deal worth $700 million.<\/p>\n<p>The Los Angeles Angels missed out on a chance to retain their All-Star pitcher\/designated hitter when he decided to remain in the City of Angels, but instead joined the Dodgers via free agency.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/la-angels-shohei-ohtani-elbow-injury\/\">Ohtani won&#8217;t pitch next season<\/a> while he recovers from elbow surgery. But he&#8217;ll perform designated hitter duties and hopes to return to the mound in the 2025 season.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yamamoto joins a projected pitching staff that includes Walker Buehler, Tyler Glasnow, Bobby Miller, and Emmet Sheehan. Meanwhile, former ace Clayton Kershaw is a free agent and could return to the Dodgers, but he&#8217;s also mulling retirement.<\/p>\n<h2>Dodgers Now +400 Odds to Win World Series<\/h2>\n<p>Moments after the Texas Rangers won the 2023 World Series, oddsmakers released odds for the 2024 World Series. The Atlanta Braves were the outright favorite at +650, followed by the Dodgers at +700, and the Rangers at +850 odds to repeat as World Series champions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>The Blue Jays were +1700 odds to win the World Series, but saw an uptick in their futures based on rumors that they had an inside track to sign Ohtani. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/shohei-ohtani-odds-next-team-la-dodgers-toronto-blue-jays-betting\/\">Dodgers won the Ohtani sweepstakes<\/a>, and they surged to the top of the MLB futures board to win the World Series at +550 odds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>On the morning after the Yamamoto news broke, the Dodgers&#8217; World Series odds narrowed to +400 at DraftKings.<\/p>\n<p>The Braves are currently the second favorite on the board at +700, followed by the Yankees (+900), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/mets-trade-justin-verlander-houston-astros-return\/\">Houston Astros<\/a> (+1000), and the defending champion Rangers (+1100).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Dodgers are +210 odds to win the National League pennant. The Braves (+360) and Phillies (+550) are their closest competition.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers are the betting favorite to win the NL West at -285 odds, and they&#8217;re ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks (+550), San Diego Padres (+800), Giants (+850), and Colorado Rockies (+12000).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the top pitcher from Japan, to a 12-year contract worth $325 million.
