Yoshinobu Yamamoto officially landed in Los Angeles, and just like when new teammate Shohei Ohtani became a Dodger, bettors and sportsbooks jumped in on the action after the free agent's big move.

At FanDuel, the newest Dodger is in a three-way tie for seventh on the oddsboard to win the NL Cy Young next season. At +1600, Yamamoto shares those odds with Kodai Senga and Justin Steele.

Yamamoto's 12-year contract is the largest and the longest that has ever been guaranteed to an MLB pitcher.

Before joining the Dodgers, he made his mark as one of Japan's most dominant pitchers. The 5-foot-10 Yamamoto played for the Orix Buffaloes, a team in the Nippon Professional Baseball league.

He won the Japanese pitching triple crown this past season by leading the league in wins, strikeouts and ERA.
