Players should be allowed to bet on their team to win.
It would improve the game immensely.
Moneyline only. Betting on spreads would incentivize suboptimal decisions.
Even betting moneyline only, as someone has said, Hader comes in and gives a walk-off HR and you're out $5M.
How does that effect clubhouse dynamics?
No, players do not need to bet at all. They have the rest of their lives after they are finished playing sports to bet on baseball.
NFL and NBA have it right. Baseball needs to make sure their policies are in-line.
