Recently, Dave Portnoy made headlines for placing a $200,000 bet on the Philadelphia Phillies to win the 2024 World Series. If the Phillies win, Portnoy stands to win nearly $1.5 million. Despite being a Boston sports fan, Portnoy’s bet shows his confidence in the Phillies’ chances of winning their first championship since 2008.
The photo of Portnoy at Game One of the Eastern Conference Semifinals between the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks at TD Garden on May 1, 2022 was taken by Adam Glanzman/Getty Images. Portnoy, a Boston native and founder of Barstool Sports, is well known for his love of sports and pizza.
Portnoy’s winning streak was put to an end when his pick, the Edmonton Oilers, lost in seven games during the Stanley Cup playoffs. In a tweet following the loss, Portnoy expressed his determination to start a new streak with the Phillies. Despite this setback, Portnoy remains optimistic about the Phillies’ chances in the upcoming season.
With the best record in Major League Baseball and a 14.1% chance of winning according to Fangraphs.com, the Phillies are considered serious contenders for the World Series title. While they are behind other teams such as the Dodgers and Yankees in terms of odds, Portnoy’s bet reflects his confidence that they will be able to come out on top in 2024 season.
