Shohei Ohtani sitting for Angels in Thursday finale
Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Kyle Gibson and the Texas Rangers.
What It Means:
Ohtani appears to be getting a breather. He's hit safely in five straight games but is batting a woeful .195 overall. Matt Thaiss will replace Ohtani at DH and bat second while Taylor Ward makes a start in left field and bats eighth.
numberFire's models expect Thaiss to score 12.0 FanDuel points on Thursday. His salary is $2,000. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Angels have an implied total of 4.68 runs.
