After betting $4 million on the outcome of a professional baseball game, Jake wants to make sure that he does not lose his money. He enters an agreement with a team's starting pitcher. The pitcher agrees to throw "fat" home run balls to the other team's batters in exchange for $75,000 from Jake. The pitcher gives up 10 home runs in the first three innings and his team loses the game. Jake refuses to pay him the $75,000 they agreed upon in the contract. If the pitcher sues Jake for breach of contract, which of the following is most likely to be the court's ruling?

a-the parties are in pari delicto and the court will refuse to award the pitcher any damages.

b-the pitcher can be declared less guilty of premeditation and will be awarded the damages

c-the contract is divisible and the court will award the pitcher damages for the legal sections

d-the pitcher maintened his promise as per the contract and hence, Jack will have to award the consideration
