The Angels are going to be dangerous in games where they get good starting pitching, and that should be the case on Thursday with Ohtani taking the mound. Texas made some huge offseason moves but still has no depth, especially on the pitching side, and these are good odds to back Ohtani against a struggling team.

While he made more headlines at the plate, Ohtani was also spectacular on the mound in 2021 with a 73 ERA-/80 FIP-, and his stuff was nasty on Opening Day leading to a 47.4% strikeout rate. The Angels and Ohtani will be able to handle them in a win here.
