The Miami Marlins are arguably the worst team in the majors.

Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers is arguably the game's best pitcher.

Pit the two of them against each other -- at Dodger Stadium -- and there's a very good chance the Dodgers win the game.

In Las Vegas, sports books had L.A. as high as -450 favorites, meaning bettors had to wager $450 on the Dodgers to win $100.

But the Marlins' Miguel Rojas broke up a scoreless tie with a three-run home run off Kershaw in the top of the fifth, setting the wheels in motion for MLB's biggest "upset" in over a decade.

According to sports wagering database BetLabSports.com, only five MLB teams have had odds of -400 or greater since 2005. The Dodgers were the first one of those teams to lose since the Washington Nationals defeated the Minnesota Twins (with ace Johan Santana on the mound) on June 9, 2007.
