This is not a drill people. Astros players are already watching tapes, and probably getting scared as I type this. They are in a pennant race and Ohtani will be on the bump against them possibly twice before the season ends.
As I predicted in the upcoming series preview, Shohei Ohtani is your Sunday starter against the Astros. ShoDay is back. If all goes well in this start, Ohtani could pitch as many as 5 total games in the month of September.
Jeff Fletcher recently confirmed it, so this is all that’s left to do:
Remember, Ohtani hasn’t pitched in a game since June 6th.
