The title pretty much says all I need to, I'm confused because I've heard a few people say they are, a few people say they aren't, and I'm not sure anymore. It seems like they should be by this point because they have been confirmed in Mexico and Arizona according to antwiki's map, and I am pretty sure that the map is outdated by at least a few years. Anyway thanks in advance for your opinion/answer. If you make a claim I would like some evidence to back it up please.

They are definitely in Arizona. There is an old record of Odontomachus from San Bernardino, however my dad was never convinced of its validity. Due to the fact that the locality spans a pretty large area the collection site if accurate could well be long devoured by urban sprawl.

So what you are saying is basically that they are confirmed in Arizona and are probably in California as well?

Odontomachus for sure in Arizona, I have collected them many times. In California I would not count on it.
