Shohei Ohtani sitting for Angels in San Diego
Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's road game against left-hander Blake Snell and the San Diego Padres.
What It Means:
The Angels are playing without a DH in the Padres' National League park, so Ohtani is taking a seat. The two-way sensation should still be available off the bench. Packy Naughton is pitching for the Angels on Tuesday night.
Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Angels have an implied total of 4.6 runs. Snell is registering a 30.3 strikeout percentage and a 12.8 walk percentage (bottom 9% of the league) this season, with a 5.11 xERA and a .341 xwOBA.
