Major League Eating is literally leaving a large hole to fill as they officially say goodbye to Joey Chestnut.
It’s an incredible shame.
And an incredible opportunity.
My main argument was that we historically see new contestants make their biggest leaps in year two and three.
James Webb folowed suit by improving from 41 dogs eaten in 2022 to 47 in 2023.
Even though the wienerlytics came up a bite short last year it’s important to think processed over results.
Show you what I mean.
Here’s an update on a graph I did in that blog to include 2023 data.
Let’s focus on Esper (tan) and Webb (navy blue).
Esper improved again in year three before plateauing.
you’ve got the option to also see their 2023 results right next to each other there.
That’s wienerlytics baby.

Let’s talk women’s dog.
We have a similar storyline here with new girl on the block, Mayoi Ebihara.
That’s a big margin.
If Ebihara manages that she’d still be two behind Sudo’s 2023 output.
So this is a longer shot in my opinion than it is for James Webb.
Still, +500 is still too juicy to leave off my betting bun.
-900 on Sudo is a casuals womens' dog eating contest play.
I’ll go with the newcomer.
Let’s eat some dogs, America.
My Hot Dog Plate:
Mens: James Webb +175
Womens: Mayoi Ebihara +500
