We get this on Saturday night when the Texas Rangers visit the Los Angeles Angels, with both teams being afterthoughts in the postseason picture. The Rangers couldn’t create a successful World Series defense after injuries and bad luck. They sit 11 games behind the Houston Astros in the American League West. Meanwhile, the Angels assumed they’d struggle this season after losing Shohei Ohtani to free agency, and an injury to Mike Trout didn’t help matters. They have the second-worst record in the American League, ahead of only the Chicago White Sox who had a historically bad season. It’s time to continue our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a> with a Rangers-Angels prediction and pick.</p><h2><b>Rangers-Angels Projected Starters </b></h2><p><b>Andrew Heaney</b> vs. <b>Griffin Canning</b></p><p><b>Andrew Heaney</b> is 5-14 with a 3.98 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP.</p><p>Heaney’s last start was at home against the Seattle Mariners in a 6-5 victory. He pitched 5 2/3 innings with 4 strikeouts, allowing 7 hits, 1 walk, 4 earned runs, and 1 home run.</p><p>Heaney is 2-8 on the road with a 4.31 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP.</p><p><b>Griffin Canning</b> is 6-13 with a 5.24 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP.</p><p>Canning’s last start was on the road against the Houston Astros.

His home splits are astonishingly better than on the road, where he is 0-10 with a 6.06 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP.</p><p><b><i>Here are the <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB Odds</a>, courtesy of FanDuel. </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Rangers-Angels Odds</b></h2><p>Texas Rangers: -1.5 (+115)</p><p>Moneyline: -150</p><p>Los Angeles Angels: +1.5 (-135)</p><p>Moneyline: +125</p><p>Over: 8.5 (-105)</p><p>Under: 8.5 (-115)</p><h2><b>How to Watch Rangers vs. Angels</b></h2><p>Time: 9:35 PM ET/6:35 PM PT</p><p>TV: Bally Sports Network</p><p>Stream: fuboTV (<a href="https://www.fubo.tv/stream/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">Free Trial</a>)</p><h2><b>Why The Rangers Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>The Rangers dominated the season series and have already won the first game of this series 5-2. It’s the third win in a row and the fourth of the last five after they won three games in a four-game set at the beginning of the month.</p><p>The Rangers’ offense has been performing well over their past ten games, recording a .244 average and a .309 on-base percentage with 4.4 runs/nine.</p><h2><b>Why The Angels Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>The Rangers have plenty of success against the Angels, but for some reason, they haven’t been able to solve Griffin Canning. Canning has back-to-back starts with just two earned runs allowed, with one resulting in a loss because Los Angeles didn’t register a run. The Angels could find some success against Andrew Heaney, as they jumped on him for three earned runs in his last start against them on September 8.</p><p>The Angels also have a better bullpen than the Rangers recently, as their relievers have a 3.57 ERA over the last three games. The Rangers have a 4.07 ERA, but neither bullpen has been bad this season.</p><h2><b>Final Rangers-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>It’s unfortunate for both of these starting pitchers that the supporting cast of offense around them has been unable to give them more wins this season. Their numbers aren’t as bad as their record would suggest. It’s also been an average season for each team’s bullpen, which is why the under can be a good play here. The total has gone under in three of the last five games between these teams.</p><p><b>Final Rangers-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick: Under 8.5 (-115)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Angels manager Ron Washington <a href="https://www.latimes.com/sports/angels/story/2024-09-25/ron-washington-believes-teach-young-angels-how-to-win" rel="noopener">recently made controversial comments</a> about the team that drew the attention of the MLB world.</p><p>“We’re going to get some baseball players who may not be superstars, but they know how to play,” Washington said, via an article by Anthony De Leon in the Los Angeles Times that was published on Wednesday. “We forgot to bring real baseball players into the organization. Nothing against those guys here, but they’re not big-league baseball players and they certainly can’t help us win a championship.”</p><p>Washington was likely just trying to make a brutally honest statement. However, some people in the MLB world felt as if it was criticism of the team’s current players. Washington <a href="https://x.com/SamBlum3/status/1839360996483461321" rel="noopener">clarified his comments on Thursday</a>, via Sam Blum of The Athletic.</p><p>“I misspoke. I didn’t mean it the way it came out, where I’m saying the organization isn’t giving me big league players,” the Angels manager said. “It’s players that have to grow into big league players.”</p><p>The Halos are rebuilding. They are not anywhere near having a championship-caliber roster.

Unable to pitch because of a right elbow injury, Ohtani cleaned out his locker in mid-September, departed from the team, and had surgery. Free agency loomed ahead.</p><p>The Angels appeared to be contenders in the race for Ohtani this offseason, but they failed to match the 10-year, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-shohei-ohtani-los-angeles-700-million-10-years-contract-mlb-free-agency">$700 million contract that the Dodgers</a> and other teams were ready to offer.</p><p>Earlier in September, Ohtani made his return to Angel Stadium, stepping into the batter’s box for the first time as a visiting player exactly one year after his final game with the Angels.</p><h2><b>In a better place with the Dodgers</b></h2><p>He expressed excitement about playing at Angel Stadium and in front of Angels fans but refrained from commenting on the organization itself. Instead of dwelling on the Angels’ actions, he stated he was “grateful for the teams that evaluated me highly.” Did this imply that he felt the Angels did not hold him in the same esteem?</p><p>It’s crucial to note that when Ohtani proposed that the Dodgers and other teams pay him just $2 million per year while deferring the rest of his $70 million salary, his intention was to allow them to use the saved funds to sign additional talented players.</p><p>The Dodgers made significant moves, trading for Tyler Glasnow and extending his contract, signing Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and adding Teoscar Hernández. While they may not have invested their savings in the most prudent ways, they fulfilled Ohtani’s request by actively trying to enhance their roster.</p><p>The Dodgers 10-inning, 6-2 win against the Angels marked the first significant September game Ohtani ever participated in at Angel Stadium.</p><p>After their 4-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night, Ohtani and the Dodgers are just one win away from clinching the NL West title.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They bought themselves 24 more hours of not having the worst record in modern MLB history. Really, it was the Los Angeles Angels who gifted it. Their partners in misery suffered a 3-2 loss that kept the White Sox from picking up loss no. 121.</p><p>With a record of 63-94, the Angels have the second-worst record in the American League and the fourth-worst in the majors. The White Sox, amid their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/white-sox-news-jerry-reinsdorf-destroyed-ex-players-employees-takedown">embarrassing levels of organizational ineptitude</a>, managed to transfer the bad mojo to someone else for a night.</p><p>In the bottom of the eighth inning, Luis Robert Jr. came up to bat with two outs, runners on the corners and a one-run deficit. He popped up the first pitch right outside of the infield. Second baseman Jack Lopez didn’t have a great read on the ball and let it hit the grass. The next batter, Andrew Benintendi, put the White Sox ahead with <a href="https://x.com/NBCSWhiteSox/status/1838771533688508470" rel="noopener">a single to left field</a> and Justin Anderson picked up the save.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Angels?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Angels</a> were going to get out of the eighth with the lead over the White Sox but Jack Lopez dropped a pop-up to tie the game and Andrew Benintendi followed with a go-ahead RBI single.

Perhaps letting that playbook slip into Los Angeles’ subconscious was the key to picking up their 37th win of the season. They’re almost at the win total that the Chicago Bulls reached last season!</p><p>The White Sox have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/white-sox-news-chicago-jokes-about-all-time-awful-season">embraced how awful they are</a> — and honestly, good for them. These players had the misfortune of being a part of one of the most dysfunctional sports teams in history. They were let down by an organization that simply refuses to compete or adapt. Chicago fans have been fed up for a long time and their frustrations have only grown. Thanks, Jerry Reinsdorf!</p><p>Fear not, fans who want to see the White Sox make history.

Find out how to watch Angels White Sox.</p><p>The Chicago White Sox could make history in the coming days, but they don’t want to. The White Sox will make history by losing. They will avoid making history by winning. This is what happens when a Major League Baseball team has a 37-120 record through 157 games. The happy news for the White Sox is that they won their most recent game, coming back from a late deficit to beat the Angels 3-2 on Tuesday in Chicago.</p><p>If the White Sox lose another game this week, that will be loss No. 121, which would be more than the 1962 New York Mets, which went 40-120. No other team in MLB history since the start of the World Series in 1903 has lost more than 120 games. The White Sox are unlikely to avoid losing Game 121. However, they can still avoid other dubious distinctions.</p><p>If Chicago wins one more game this week (through Sunday, Sept. 29), it will avoid becoming the fourth team in the World Series era (since 1903) to win fewer than 38 games in a season. If Chicago wins two more games this week, it will avoid having the worst winning percentage (.235) of any team in the World Series era.</p><p>As miserable and brutal as this season has been, the White Sox and their fans have to at least appreciate the reality that this team is still fighting hard. The Sox trailed the Angels 2-0 after seven and a half innings on Tuesday but scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth to win. The White Sox haven’t lost because of laziness. They have lost because they are historically inept. Yet, the team is still playing hard, and maybe that can become the source of a distinctly better season with improved results in 2025.</p><h2><b>Angels-White Sox Projected Starters </b></h2><p><b>Jose Suarez </b> vs. <b><b>Davis Martin</b></b></p><p><b>Jose Suarez</b> (1-2) has a 6.08 ERA. Suarez has been getting some work as a starter after previously being a relief pitcher earlier in the 2024 season. These late-season starts are basically test drives to see if Suarez should be used as a back-end rotation starter or a middle reliever for the Angels when the 2025 season begins. Thsi is Suarez’s last start of the season, so he will try to make this appearance count.</p><p>Last Appearance: Wednesday, September 18 vs the Chicago White Sox: 7 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 HR, 0 BB, 5 K</p><p>2024 Road Splits: 6 starts, 35 1/3 IP, 40 H, 19 R, 4 HR, 6 BB, 14 K</p><p><b>Davis Martin</b> (0-5) has a 4.27 ERA. It’s a familiar story with a number of White Sox starting pitchers: They have respectable ERAs but terrible win-loss records because their offense simply has not shown up for them and has not been able to help them. On Tuesday night, Chicago starter Jonathan Cannon was very solid but got no run support from the White Sox, who were shut out through seven innings. The bullpen got the win and the save. Cannon got a no-decision. We will see what happens here with Martin, who will try to get his first win of 2024 in his last start of the year.</p><p>Last Start: Tuesday, September 17 vs the Los Angeles Angels: 5 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 0 HR, 2 BB, 4 K</p><p>2024 Home Splits: 4 starts, 21 1/3 IP, 25 H, 12 R, 4 HR, 9 BB, 22 K</p><p><b><i>Here are the Angels-White Sox <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB Odds</a>, courtesy of FanDuel. </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Angels-White Sox Odds</b></h2><p>Los Angeles Angels: -1.5 (+128)</p><p>Moneyline: -122</p><p>Chicago White Sox: +1.5 (-154)</p><p>Moneyline: +104</p><p>Over: 8.5 (-110)</p><p>Under: 8.5 (-110)</p><h2><b>How to Watch Angels vs. White Sox</b></h2><p>Time: 7:40 p.m. ET/4:40 p.m. PT</p><p>TV: Bally Sports West (Angels) / NBC Sports Chicago (White Sox) / MLB Extra Innings</p><p>Stream: fuboTV <b>(<a href="https://www.fubo.tv/stream/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">Free trial</a>)</b></p><h2><b>Why The Angels Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>The White Sox very, very rarely win two games in a row.

Find out how to watch Angels White Sox.</p><p>The Chicago White Sox could make more history this week, as their memorably atrocious and abysmal season winds toward a merciful end. The White Sox have lost five games in a row to bring their record to 36-120 with six games remaining on the schedule. How bad is 36-120? Only one team in the history of Major League Baseball, the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, has lost more than the 120 games the White Sox have lost. Those Spiders lost 134 games.</p><p>If the White Sox lose a 121st game, which seems almost certain at this point, Chicago will pass the 1962 New York Mets (40-120) for the most losses by any team since 1901, categorized as the “modern era” of Major League Baseball. That piece of history is likely to be made this week.</p><p>Other pieces of history are less certain, but they are very much in play.</p><p>Only five teams in the modern era of Major League Baseball (since 1901) have won fewer than 40 games in a season. The White Sox are one of them. They will need to go 4-2 in their final six games to avoid remaining one of those five teams.</p><p>Only three MLB teams since 1901 have won fewer than 38 games in a season. The White Sox need two wins in their final six to reach 38, three to exceed 38.</p><p>The other piece of history the White Sox could make: the lowest winning percentage of any MLB team since 1901. The White Sox currently have a .231 winning percentage, the worst of any team in the majors over the past 123 years. The 1916 Philadelphia Athletics had a .235 winning percentage. Chicago needs to split its final six games to finish above .235. If Chicago wins two of six, it will finish at .235 (rounded up from .2347).</p><p>Just how much history are the 2024 Chicago White Sox ready to make? This series against the Angels will likely tell us the answer, since the Sox are very unlikely to win over the coming weekend against the red-hot and playoff-minded Tigers in Detroit.</p><h2><b>Angels-White Sox Projected Starters </b></h2><p><b>Jack Kochanowicz</b> vs. <b><b>Jonathan Cannon</b></b></p><p><b>Jack Kochanowicz</b> (2-5) has a 4.56 ERA. Kochanowicz gets one more chance to audition for a spot on the 2025 Angel rotation. Let’s see what he does. He dominated the White Sox last week in Anaheim and will try to do it again in Chicago.</p><p>Last Appearance: Wednesday, September 18 vs the Chicago White Sox: 7 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 HR, 0 BB, 5 K</p><p>2024 Road Splits: 6 starts, 35 1/3 IP, 40 H, 19 R, 4 HR, 6 BB, 14 K</p><p><b>Jonathan Cannon</b> (4-10) has a 4.61 ERA.

The Astros have won eight of the last ten meetings and five consecutive, including two victories to begin this series. The Angels have lost eight of their last ten games, with the wins coming against the only team more abysmal than them, the Chicago White Sox. The Astros have been in much better form, winning seven of their last ten games. However, five of those wins have come against the Angels. The Angels have the fourth-worst record in baseball, and sit 21 games behind the Astros in the National League West. The Astros are 4.5 games up on the Seattle Mariners for the division lead, and have a crucial series with them next up to determine the division’s fate.

The Astros have owned the matchup this season and for the past few years, and Reid Detmers isn’t the most reliable pitcher. However, he was able to have two consecutive starts to begin this month where he allowed just two earned runs, including one against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It isn’t easy to hold the Dodgers to that low of production, so if he can find that form again, the Angels could keep it relatively close.</p><h2><b>Why The Astros Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>The Astros haven’t been hitting the ball well over their past ten games, but it might not matter with Ronel Blanco on the hill. He allowed zero earned runs in his last 11 outings, which includes a six-inning, four-hit gem against the Angels in his previous start. The Astros are the superior team in this matchup, and own the Angels in almost every category.</p><h2><b>Final Angels-Astros Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>It’s hard not to return to the well here and take the Astros to win this game. The odds don’t have as much juice as we’d like for this bet, but it has hit in five straight meetings between these teams and seven of the past eight. We’ll take the Astros to cover the run line in this matchup, as they have plenty of motivation left to keep ahead of the Mariners.

Ohtani is a star pitcher and designated hitter for the Los Angeles Dodgers who signed the biggest contract in any sport ever.  So let’s look at Shohei Ohtani’s net worth in 2024 after he reached a historic milestone.</p><h2><b><b>What is Shohei Ohtani’s</b></b><b><b> </b></b><b><b>n</b></b><b><b>et </b></b><b><b>w</b></b><b><b>orth in 2024</b></b><b><b>?: </b></b><b><b>$50 </b></b><b><b>million (estimate)</b></b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/shohei-ohtanis-net-worth-in-2024-2.webp"></figure><p><a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/richest-baseball/shohei-ohtani-net-worth/" rel="noopener">Shohei Ohtani’s net worth</a> in 2024 is estimated to be around $50 million, per multiple sources, including Celebrity Net Worth. With that kind of wealth, no wonder Ohtani felt it was time to settle down and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/is-shohei-ohtani-married-what-we-know-about-dodgers-stars-dating-life">marry his girlfriend</a>.</p><p>Shohei Ohtani was born on July 5, 1994, in Ōshū, Japan, to parents Kayoku and Toru Otani. He came from athletic genes as his mother was a national-level badminton player and his father was an amateur baseball player who played in the Japanese Industrial League.</p><p>Ohtani attended Hanamaki Higashi High School in Iwate Prefecture. He threw a 99-mph fastball as an 18-year-old.</p><h2><b>Shohei Ohtani is drafted by the Nippon-Ham Fighters</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQ4tFAp1Gw/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading"><div style="padding: 16px;"><p> </p><div style="display: flex;"><div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div><div style="display: flex;"><div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div><div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div></div></div><div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div><div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div><div style="padding-top: 8px;"><div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding: 12.5% 0;"></div><div style="display: flex; margin-bottom: 14px;"><div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div><div style="margin-left: 8px;"><div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 20px; width: 20px;"></div><div></div></div><div style="margin-left: auto;"><div></div><div></div><div></div></div></div><div style="display: flex; margin-bottom: 24px;"><div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;"></div><div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; height: 14px; width: 144px;"></div></div><p> </p><p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQ4tFAp1Gw/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" rel="noopener" style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">A post shared by Shohei Ohtani | 大谷翔平 (@shoheiohtani)</a></p></div></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>After high school, the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters selected him with the first pick of the 2012 NPB Draft. He played for five years in the NPB, garnering a bevy of individual accolades.</p><ul><li>2015 WBSC Player of the Year</li><li>2x Japan Professional Sports Grand Prize</li><li>2015 Pacific League Battery Award</li><li>2015 Pacific League ERA Leader</li><li>2016 Designated Hitter Best Nine</li><li>2x Pacific League Pitcher Best Nine</li><li>5x NPB All-Star</li><li>2016 Pacific League MVP</li><li>2016 Japan Series Champions</li></ul><h2><b>Angels win the bid for Shohei Ohtani</b></h2><p>On Nov. 21, 2017, the NPB and MLB came to an agreement to send Shohei Ohtani to the MLB. He then decided to sign with the Los Angeles Angels for a $2.3 million bonus with the team paying a $20 million posting fee to the Fighters.</p><p>On March 29, 2018, Shohei Ohtani made his MLB debut as the Angels’ designated hitter. On April 3, he hit his first MLB home run. He ended his first season playing 104 games, with a batting average of .285 and a .361 on-base percentage.</p><p>Ohtani also had 22 home runs, 61 RBIs and 10 stolen bases — joining the legendary Babe Ruth as the only player with 10 pitching appearances and 20 homers in a season. He capped off his first season as the 2018 American League Rookie of the Year.</p><p>Shohei Ohtani struggled during the 2019 and 2020 seasons because of injury and the shortened year in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. On Feb. 8, 2021, he agreed to a two-year $8.5 million contract extension with the Angels.</p><h2><b>Shohei Ohtani wins two MVP Awards</b></h2><p>Ohtani then made history by becoming the first player to be selected as an All-Star as both a position player and pitcher. He finished the season as the unanimous American League MVP, also becoming the first player ever to make both All-MLB teams, First Team at DH and Second Team at pitcher.</p><p>On top of that, he was also named to the “TIME” 100 List of Most Influential People and won multiple Athlete and Player of the Year awards from the Associated Press, “Sporting News”, “Baseball Digest” and “Baseball America.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angels-news-shohei-ohtani-makes-more-history-with-utterly-dominant-performance/" rel="noopener">Ohtani continued his incredible play</a> during the 2022 season, once again being selected as an All-Star at designated hitter and starting pitcher. He finished second in MVP voting behind Aaron Judge.</p><p>Unfortunately, his career and future earnings received devastating news in August 2023 when <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angels-news-la-get-crushing-shohei-ohtani-mike-trout-injury-updates" rel="noopener">Ohtani tore the UCL</a> in his pitching elbow. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angels-news-shohei-ohtani-announces-crucial-elbow-surgery-update-as-free-agency-looms" rel="noopener">Ohtani then had elbow surgery</a> in September. Prior to the injury, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angels-news-shohei-ohtani-actual-contract-value-estimated-at-nearly-800-million-per-espn" rel="noopener">ESPN estimated Ohtani’s new contract</a> could be for nearly $800 million, so he had to “settle” for $700 million.</p><p>Despite the injury, Ohtani still was the unanimous AL MVP. He was the first player to ever twice win MVP unanimously. As a batter for 2023, Ohtani led MLB in OPS, home runs and total bases. On the pitching side, he was third in ERA, fourth in WHIP and fifth in strikeouts.</p><h2><b>Shohei Ohtani signs with Dodgers</b></h2><p>One day after it was reported that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-shohei-ohtani-blue-jays-espn-reporter" rel="noopener">Ohtani was signing with the Blue Jays</a>, Ohtani himself announced <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0pR_vyvLpR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igshid=ODhhZWM5NmIwOQ==" rel="noopener">on his Instagram</a> that he was staying in Los Angeles and signing with the Dodgers after spending six years with the Angels.

It will be the first opportunity for Ohtani to play in the postseason in his storied career.</p><h2><b>Shohei Ohtani’s endorsement income</b></h2><p>As for his endorsements, Shohei Ohtani led the league in annual endorsement earnings in 2021 with a total of $6 million.

Ohtani also stated that he never made any bets and never had anyone make bets for him.</p><p>Mizuhara eventually admitted to stealing the money, although he originally stated that Ohtani had agreed to make the payment to pay off Mizuhara’s gambling debt. He also claimed he never bet on baseball, which could have led to a bigger scandal since he was technically employed by the Dodgers and the Angels.</p><p>Mizuhara had been Ohtani’s interpreter and constant companion since the Angels signed him and he came to the United States, which made news of this sordid affair even more shocking. In April 2024, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-shohei-ohtani-interpreter-ippei-mizuhara-charged-16-million-gambling">Mizuhara was charged</a> with bank fraud after a federal investigation found evidence he stole $16 million from Ohtani’s bank account.</p><p>This has been a huge black eye for MLB, who have embraced endorsements from legal gambling outlets in recent years. Fortunately, Ohtani was cleared of any wrongdoing. Mizuhara apparently had duped Ohtani since 2021.

Tyler Anderson, the Angels’ left-handed starter, has been a consistent force in their rotation this season. With 136 strikeouts in 29 starts, Anderson has proven he can handle high-pressure situations. His ability to mix pitches and keep hitters off-balance could be the key to neutralizing Houston’s potent offense.</p><p>On the other side, Justin Verlander, while still formidable, has shown signs of vulnerability since returning from a neck injury. In his last outing against the Angels, Verlander struggled with command, walking his first two batters and relying heavily on defensive plays to limit damage.</p><p>The Angels’ offense, despite recent struggles, has the potential to break out. Players like Nolan Schanuel, who has shown flashes of brilliance, could capitalize on Verlander’s current form. Additionally, the possible return of Mickey Moniak from a hand injury could provide a much-needed boost to the lineup.</p><p>While the Astros have home-field advantage, the Angels have nothing to lose at this point in the season. This underdog mentality, combined with Anderson’s consistency and Verlander’s recent struggles, sets the stage for a potential upset. If the Angels can strike early and put pressure on Houston’s bullpen, they have a real shot at stealing a win in this series opener.</p><h2><b>Why The Astros Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>As the Houston Astros host the Los Angeles Angels on Friday, all eyes will be on the pitching matchup between Justin Verlander and Tyler Anderson. Despite some recent struggles, Verlander and the Astros are poised to come out on top in this crucial divisional clash.</p><p>Verlander, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, has shown flashes of his dominant self since returning from injury. While his last few outings have been uncharacteristically shaky, the veteran right-hander has a history of rising to the occasion in big games. His experience and competitive drive make him a formidable opponent, especially at Minute Maid Park where he tends to excel.</p><p>The Astros’ offense, led by sluggers like Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker, should provide ample run support against Angels starter Tyler Anderson. The Astros’ lineup, which has been heating up lately, is likely to capitalize on Anderson’s vulnerabilities.</p><p>Houston also holds a significant advantage in the standings, fighting for the AL West title while the Angels are well out of contention. This disparity in motivation could play a crucial role, with the Astros pushing hard for every win in the season’s final stretch.</p><p>With Verlander on the mound, a potent offense ready to pounce, and the backing of their home crowd, the Astros are well-positioned to secure a victory against the struggling Angels on Friday night.</p><h2><b>Final Angels</b><b>-Astros Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>In this intriguing matchup between the Houston Astros and the Los Angeles Angels, expect a closely contested battle that ultimately tilts in favor of the home team. Justin Verlander, despite recent struggles, should have another solid outing against the Angels, leveraging his vast experience and the comfort of pitching at Minute Maid Park. The Astros’ potent lineup is likely to find success against Tyler Anderson, who has been inconsistent this season. While the Angels may keep it close early, Houston’s superior bullpen and home-field advantage will prove decisive in the later innings. Look for key contributions from Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker as the Astros secure the victory, bolstering their playoff aspirations.</p><p><b>Final Angels-Astros Prediction &amp; Pick: Houston Astros -1.5 (-108), Under 8.5 (-122)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Find out how to watch Angels Astros.</p><p>The Houston Astros have not had an especially good season, but this is their lucky year in the sense that no one else in the American League West was able to take advantage of the Astros’ failures and various bouts of misfortune. The Astros were crushed by injuries to their starting rotation in 2024. Cristian Javier, Luis Urquidy, Lance McCullers, and Justin Verlander were all sidelined for large portions of time. The Astros have put together a patchwork rotation and have needed young starters to learn on the job. Kyle Tucker was injured for a large portion of the season, which hurt Houston’s offense and took away a player who was red-hot in the early part of 2024. Houston enters September 19 with a modest 82-70 record. Houston is unlikely to win 90 games, a rarity for the American League’s most consistently successful franchise since 2017. Yet, because the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers have not been able to score runs consistently this year, Houston is almost certain to win the AL West anyway. The Astros lead Seattle by five games with 10 to play. As long as Houston doesn’t get swept by Seattle next week, that essentially means the Astros would be up four with seven games remaining. It will be hard for the Astros to blow this lead. With four games coming up against the lowly Angels at home, Houston has a chance to put this race to bed before meeting Seattle next week.</p><h2><b>Angels-Astros Projected Starters </b></h2><p><b>Jose Suarez </b>vs. <b>Yusei Kikuchi</b></p><p><b>Jose Suarez</b> (1-2) has a 6.80 ERA.

Zach Neto has led the way at the plate for the Angels. He is hitting .250 on the year with a .320 on-base percentage. Neto has 21 home runs, 71 RBIs, and 66 runs scored.

The Angels are hitting just .213 i the last week with eight home runs and 23 runs scored in six games.</p><h2><b>Final White Sox-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Jared Schuster has been primarily a bullpen arm, making just one opening appearance this year. He normally goes between one and two innings and has given up runs in seven of his last 11 outings. Meanwhile, Jack Kochanowicz has given up three or more runs in three of his last four starts, as the Angels have gone 1-3 in those four games. Further, the White Sox have been the better-hitting team as of late. With Crochet on the mound, take the White Sox to get the win.</p><p><b>Final White Sox-Angels Prediction &amp; Pick: White Sox ML (+128) </b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Trout revealed to The Athletic’s Sam Blum that he intends to have conversations with the team about possibly moving out of centerfield during the offseason.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angels-mike-trout-mlb-underappreciated-superstar">Angels slugger Mike Trout and three-time AL MVP</a>, mentioned ahead of Monday’s game against the Chicago White Sox that he’s open to all options when he meets with the team in the offseason. These discussions could lead to <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/41294102/mike-trout-says-move-away-center-field-possible-next-year" rel="noopener">a move to a corner outfield</a> position or an increased role as a designated hitter.</p><p>“I think everything is on the table,” said Trout. “Ultimately, my goal is to be in that batter’s box, in the field, every single day. Whether that’s moving to a corner, DHing more, that’s just something that I’ll leave up to the front office to come up with a plan.”</p><h2><b>Mike Trout spending time out of the centerfield early in his career</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Mike-Trout-watches-from-the-dugout-for-the-Angels.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Mike Trout spent some time in right and left field early in his career but has exclusively played center field since 2013. He noted that he’s been aware for a while that a transition to a corner outfield spot would eventually be part of his future.</p><p>“Where I’m at and what’s happened the last few years, I’m definitely going to try to explore every option that can keep me out there.”</p><p>Trout hasn’t played any position besides center field in more than 10 years. The last time he suited up elsewhere was back on September 2, 2013, when he was just 22.</p><p>Since the beginning of the 2021 season, The Angels center fielder has appeared in just 266 games. This year, he managed to play 29 games before an MRI revealed <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angels-news-mike-trout-injury-timeline-surgery">a torn meniscus in Trout’s left knee</a>, leading to surgery on May 3.</p><h2><b>The 33-year old’s history of injuries with the Angels</b></h2><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angels-news-mike-trout-makes-injury-return-promise">Trout was set to make his comeback in late July</a> but experienced discomfort during a rehab stint with Triple-A Salt Lake. A subsequent MRI revealed a new tear above the original injury, leading to season-ending surgery on August 7, which coincidentally was his 33rd birthday.</p><p>The Angels’ center fielder mentioned he wasn’t sure when either injury took place. In 2021, he appeared in just 36 games due to a calf strain, and in 2022, despite missing five weeks with a back injury, he still managed to play in 119 games.</p><p>Last year, Mike Trout fractured a bone in his hand after fouling off a pitch during a July 3 game against the San Diego Padres. He attempted a comeback in August but only managed to appear in one game, concluding the season with 82 games played.</p><p>In the last five seasons, Trout has missed more than 100 games four times. This year, in 109 plate appearances, he batted .220, hitting 10 home runs and driving in 14 runs.</p><p>Out of his 1,502 career starts, Trout has played center field in 1,332 of them. He has logged just 90 games in the corner outfield positions (77 in left and 13 in right) and 80 games as a designated hitter. While he boasts a career batting average of .299, his average drops to .214 when serving as the DH.</p><p>Without Trout, the Angels’ ongoing struggles persisted. They sit at the bottom of the AL West with a 60-89 record and will miss the playoffs for the 10th consecutive year.</p><p>To improve their chances for next season, keeping Trout healthy will be crucial for the Angels. Thus, moving him to a less demanding position seems like a practical choice for the 33-year-old.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
