The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">AL MVP favorite</a> is (5-1) with a 2.91 ERA in 65 innings pitched. He also has 90 strikeouts and a WHIP of 0.95.

The movement on his pitches makes it very tough for opposing hitters to get any sense of timing down. He finished with 10 strikeouts in the loss to the Miami Marlins in his last start, even though he allowed just one run. Before that, he K’d up nine against the Minnesota Twins.</p><p>The task tonight is for Ohtani to record just seven strikeouts. That will be tough, as this Astros lineup comes to play each and every night. However, in his last start against the Astros, he rung up seven in as many innings.</p><p>The Angels and Astros combined for seven runs last night. With two of the best starters on the mound, hitting the over at 7.5 will not be easy.</p><p>Last but not least, the former WS champion needs to record at least one hit. It may or may not come against Ohtani, however, Altuve has a career .292 batting average with seven hits and two doubles against the former MVP.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s been six seasons since Shohei Ohtani first appeared in the MLB for the Los Angeles Angels, with every passing day putting perhaps the biggest star in the game today that much closer to free agency. With the Angels not necessarily being one of the best teams in the league, as they’re right in the thick of a tight AL playoff picture at the moment, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-angels-shohei-ohtani-trade-leave-free-agency-miss-playoffs" rel="noopener">trade rumors</a> surrounding the Japanese international should only heat up the closer we approach the trade deadline.</p><p>However, it seems like the Angels will be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-angels-shohei-ohtani-trade-plans-firm-update" rel="noopener">holding onto Ohtani</a> and see the season through with the 28-year old dual threat, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.</p><p>Rosenthal, speaking with Kevin Burkhardt of Fox Sports 1, was <a href="https://twitter.com/MLBONFOX/status/1664414392660684800" rel="noopener">adamant in his belief</a> that Shohei Ohtani will be ending the 2023 season in an Angels uniform.</p><p>“I don’t see him getting traded. Obviously, if the Angels fall out of the [playoff picture, it’s a] different story. But it’s difficult to fall out of contention, when you have three wild cards,” Rosenthal said.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">With the approaching trade deadline and Shohei Ohtani's free agency at the end of the season, <a href="https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Ken_Rosenthal</a> looks into his future in Anaheim. <a href="https://t.co/sl4AO7iEBi">pic.twitter.com/sl4AO7iEBi</a></p><p>— FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLBONFOX/status/1664414392660684800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 1, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>If the season ended today, the Angels would find themselves on the outside looking in on the playoff picture. But at the moment, there are two months of baseball left to go before the trade deadline passes, so the Angels have plenty of time to try to make it work with Shohei Ohtani on the roster.</p><p>In fact, Rosenthal believes that the Angels, given their offseason and midseason moves, will be fighting until the end to break the franchise’s eight-year playoff drought.</p><p>“They spent the offseason adding a number of players. Tyler Anderson, [Gio] Urshela, [Brandon] Drury. Right down the line, relievers as well. And then this season, they’ve been aggressively promoting prospects,” Rosenthal added. “They’re gonna stay in it as long as they possibly can. […] They’re three [games] over .500 right now.”</p><p>At the very least, with Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani playing at their best, the Angels will have a shot to remain competitive deep into the playoffs. And for the franchise’s long-term health, they’ll be hoping that if they make the playoffs, they go all the way lest they risk losing Ohtani with nothing to show for it.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Senga was on point from start to finish of his duty on the mound, and in the process joined an exclusive statistical club in the big leagues of Japanese-born pitchers with at least <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/1663725113051607044" rel="noopener">70 punchouts</a> in their first 10 starts, per ESPN Stats &amp; Info.</p><p><i>Kodai Senga was dealing against the Phillies, recording 9 strikeouts while giving up just 1 hit in 7 IP. His 70 K in his first 10 career games are the 3rd most by a Japanese-born pitcher in MLB history, trailing only Hideo Nomo (83 K in 1995) &amp; Masahiro Tanaka (79 K in 2014).</i></p><p>Kodai Senga also did not issue a single walk against the Phillies, which was a welcome sight for him and the Mets after he dished out eight walks in his previous two starts. In fact, Senga’s start against the Phillies was the first time he’s not allowed a walk in a game this season. The seven innings he logged in on the hill versus Philadelphia are also the most he’s had in a game in his first year in the big leagues.</p><p>So far in the 2023 MLB regular season, the 30-year-old Senga has a 5-3 record to go with a 3.44 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 10 starts.</p><p>The Mets are certainly hoping that Kodai Senga will be able to sustain that form and become a norm for him going forward. They <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-new-york-wins-kodai-senga-sweepstakes-with-5-year-75-million-deal" rel="noopener">signed</a> Senga to a five-year deal worth $75 million back in December.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
