Over/Under: Shohei Otani 114.5 Games

Related Topics: Shohei Ohtani, Game, Over–under

There has been much speculation about the Angels usage of potential two way star Shohie Otani. The consensus is that he’ll be part of a six man pitching rotation and serve as a DH/pinch hitter/pinch runner on other days.

Of course to play in MLB games he’ll need to make the MLB roster, which is no guarantee as of this writing.

Here’s how I came up with 114.5:

162 games/6 man rotation = 27 times his rotation spot will come around.

25 weeks x 3 DH days per week = 75 games played.

Occasional pinch hit and/or pinch run days.
