Fernando Mendoza’s odds to be first pick drop to -20000

There’s a brand new Mendoza line in sports activities.

In baseball, it refers to a batting common of .200. (The namesake of the usual, former MLB infielder Mario Mendoza, completed his profession at .215.)

In soccer, the Fernando Mendoza line is now -20000. Last week, it was -10000.

Those are his odds at DraftKings to be the first general pick within the 2026 draft. It’s stunning that the wager hasn’t been taken off the board at this level.

Of course, not many at this level will wager $20,000 to win a roughly $100. But there might be somebody who’ll take a John Mellencamp-style flier on a number of of the opposite names.

Among the 1,000-to-1 extremely lengthy pictures are Diego Pavia and Cade Klubnik.

Still, if you need to make a simple $100 and you have an additional 20 giant laying round, go for it. Barring a significant shock at this level, he’ll be the first pick in 16 days.
