You answered the question in your own post. If he bets on his team, then the way he plays or manages is artificial. Does he change the staring rotation on an off day? Bring in the closer early? Leave a star pitcher out longer. Cancel an off day for a hot hitter? All kinds of unnatural moves could occur because he bet on the game.
