Killing someone has a smaller detrimental effect on baseball than gambling on games while you are in a position to affect the outcome. And lest we pretend that this is no big deal because he only ever bet on his team to win, we also know that he did not bet on every single game that his team played and as such was heavily incentivized to cook the books by setting his team up to win those games he bet on in particular, even if (perhaps especially if, because doing so would increase the odds) he had to lose other games to get those results.
