Major League Baseball said Monday that leading U.S. sportsbooks will cap wagers on pitch-by-pitch baseball bets at $200 and bar them from parlays, aiming to curb manipulation after unusual action tied to Cleveland Guardians starter Luis Ortiz. Federal prosecutors on Sunday unsealed charges against Ortiz and closer Emmanuel Clase in an alleged scheme that netted about $450,000 from such markets. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred credited guidance from Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine. DraftKings and FanDuel said they will modify offerings and continue collaborating on integrity safeguards.
