About the only upside to this continent-wide spate of nasty weather is it has allowed the Red Sox to step into the center ring of the greatest spectacle in baseball right now, the Shohei Ohtani Show.
Sunday’s cold-out in Kansas City meant the two-way Angels phenom’s third major league start was pushed back to tonight’s opener against the Red Sox.
Because the Angels have been giving Ohtani a day off before and after each start, the Red Sox pitchers likely will have to face him only once, in the series finale Thursday.
What can the Sox expect from Ohtani on the mound and at the plate?
