The Favorites Podcast released on Thursday featured a key expert on an issue sweeping baseball: players and sports betting.

Writer Keith O'Brien — who broke the news earlier this week that MLB had been investigating Pete Rose and his sports betting habits 11 years before he was officially banned — joined the Favorites podcast, hosted by Chad Millman and Simon Hunter. The Action Network podcast is sponsored by bet365.

In the podcast, the trio discuss the parallels between Shohei Ohtani's recent sports betting scandal and Pete Rose's.

O'Brien broke this news earlier this week with an excerpt published on the Action Network from his book, Charlie Hustle: The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose, and the Last Glory Days of Baseball, which was released on Tuesday.
