Ep #507: Prison time for balls and strikes? Betting scandal rocks MLB

Uh oh.

ICYMI: Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz were charged with fraud, conspiracy, and bribery on Sunday, related to a scheme in which both hurlers rigged individual pitches so that bettors could win big.

On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz break down the latest scandal involving sports gambling and professional athletes, part of a disturbing trend that’s been on the rise ever since the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the path to legalize sports betting in 2018.
