Shohei is still making his way back from injury and continues to see a restricted workload, throwing just 3.2 innings and 70 pitches last time out against the Orioles. That said, that was all the way back on 9/5, and the start before that he was allowed to throw 87 pitches and popped for 9 strikeouts against the Reds. Given the extended rest, we are willing to bet on his pitch count getting up into the high 80s and maybe even low 90s. Since returning, he is striking out LHH at an absurd 44% rate while holding them to a line of .048/.210. RHH, on the other hand, are fanning at a 25% clip with a line of .141/.281. With the potential for the Phillies to send 5-6 LHH to the plate tonight, we really like this matchup for Ohtani. If he were to finally get the green light at a restriction-free start, he should blow this strikeout total out of the water.
