Ben and Meg break down the federal indictment of <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/emmanuel-clase/21032/stats?position=P" target="_blank">Emmanuel Clase</a> and <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/luis-l-ortiz/27646/stats?position=P" target="_blank">Luis L. Ortiz</a>, including the documentary and statistical evidence of their alleged pitch-fixing, the implications for the sport and sports gambling, the unanswered questions, the dark comedy, and more (plus a real-time reaction to an MLB betting reform and an answer to an email about parenting in the age of ubiquitous sports-betting ads).
