Alex Rodriguez is the latest baseball star to admit to using steroids, but he’s probably not the last.

Online gambling site BookMaker.com has come out with odds on the next ones to ‘fess up or get caught.

Three players who are out of the game -- Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Mark McGwire -- are each 5-1 favorites to admit they juiced. Ryan Howard, at 8-1, is the leading active player followed by Manny Ramirez, Albert Pujols and Carlos Delgado at 10-1.

Howard, Ramirez, Pujols and Delgado are 7-2 favorites to be caught using steroids, along with Mark Teixeira, David Ortiz, Derrek Lee, Justin Morneau and Lance Berkman.

The site also thinks A-Rod will be called to Capitol Hill, giving -250 odds for and +120 odds against.

‘Now fans will have a reason to cheer for a positive test,’ a spokesperson for the Bookmaker.com said.

That’s one way of looking at it.
