Payroll is a big part of the story, but not the whole story. We look at the Dodgers, but we can also look at the Angels too.
When I saw the score 4-0, I had missed the fourth run and had no idea it was the ball Ohtani destroyed. Looking at the Dodger stadium dimensions and where the ball landed ;(or might have landed) I say there’s no way it only traveled 469 feet.
