Will Ohio Sports Betting Market Be Changing Soon?

Despite the high numbers through 2025, the Ohio sports betting market could be soon facing a drastic change.

Gov. Mike DeWine (R) this week has requested the Ohio Casino Control Commission ban the prop betting market in the Buckeye State, citing several recent prominent Guardians’ pitchers being embroiled in a sports betting investigation and athletes being threatened by sports betting customers as his reasoning.

Gov. DeWine pointed to micro prop-bets on highly controllable moments within a game that can be influenced by a single athlete as particularly troublesome.

The harm hits close to home, as just this past month the Cleveland Guardians placed two separate pitchers on non-disciplinary paid leave as part of an MLB sports betting investigation. The Guardians first placed starting pitcher Luis Ortiz on non-disciplinary paid leave on July 3, followed by all-star closer Emmanuel Clase being placed on non-disciplinary paid leave on July 28.

Both will remain on leave through Aug. 31.

A firm that monitors betting activity reported suspicious wagering on two separate pitches thrown by Ortiz during two games he started. No details have yet been released as to why Clase is now being included in the investigation.

The firm noted suspicious betting volumes on two separate pitches during his June 15 and June 27 starts against the Seattle Mariners and St. Louis Cardinals, respectively. Both were balls and thrown well outside the strike zone.

Larger than normal amounts of money were placed on whether Ortiz would throw a strike or ball in a certain inning.

The evidence that prop betting is harming athletics in Ohio is reaching critical mass. A particular problem is with micro prop bets – prop bets on highly specific events within games that are completely controlled by one player.
