Texas, Ohtani is 3-2 with a 4.06 ERA and 53 strikeouts. He is +1200 to win his first Cy Young and the -250 favorite for a second AL MVP. This year, Ohtani, leads the majors in opponent batting average (.172) and ranks third in strikeouts (102). Since Ohtani's 2018 rookie season, the Angels are 6-11 when he's an underdog and the over/under is 9-7-1. Including that, here are the four times since 2022 that Ohtani has been a dog on the mound: That start was the lone time he was an underdog this year, priced +110. Ohtani (5-2, 3.32 ERA, 1.04 WHIP) hasn't been his usual sharp self this month at 0-1 with a 5.73 ERA, but that's largely because a rough outing in Houston on June 2 and the Astros can make any pitcher look bad in Houston. A fair amount of Angels have solid splits vs. As a batter, Ohtani is 2-for-16 off him with a double and five Ks. He won on May 6 in Anaheim, shutting out the Halos on five hits over eight innings with five Ks. Eovaldi's two complete games lead MLB and are the most by a Ranger since Mike Minor in 2019 (also two).Įovaldi is 4-2 with a career 3.86 ERA against the Angels in 56 innings. He is trying to become just the second Texas pitcher with double-digit wins before the All-Star break, joining Lance Lynn in 2019. The big right-hander has a 1.65 ERA over that 10-start span, the second-lowest in MLB, to drop his season ERA from 6.32. He was hit around a bit last time out at MLB-best Tampa Bay, allowing four runs over 6.1 innings, but still got the win.Įovaldi is undefeated (8-0) in his last 10 starts, the longest win streak by a Ranger since Martín Perez last year. Eovaldi is +1500 to win his first Cy Young Award. His career high in wins is 14 (2015 with Yankees despite a 4.20 ERA), his best ERA is 3.39 (2013 with Marlins) and his top WHIP is 0.98 (2018 with Rays). They are +140 second favorites to win it behind Houston (-110) and -270 to make the playoffs in any fashion for the first time since 2016, with No at +225.Ī big reason Texas hasn't missed deGrom yet is because the 33-year-old Eovaldi (9-2, 2.49 ERA, 0.98 WHIP) is having his best season. The right-hander only made six starts this year (last on April 28) and the Rangers still lead the AL West by 3.5 games.
MLB SCHEDULE 2022 ANGELS SERIES
It's tough to see the Rangers winning their first World Series without the two-time Cy Young winner, but Texas has done just fine without him so far. Texas not long ago got the horrible news that Jacob deGrom was done for the season, and he had Tommy John surgery on Monday. The Angels are +122 at Caesars Sportsbook, which marks only the fifth time since the start of the 2022 campaign Ohtani has been an underdog when taking the mound. It's a stellar pitching matchup to conclude the four-game set Thursday in Arlington as Shohei Ohtani faces Nathan Eovaldi, both AL Cy Young Award contenders. Those two teams and the Astros should battle all summer for the division crown. This week's Angels-Rangers AL West showdown has been terrific baseball.
