The Los Angeles Angels and New York Mets face off on Friday in an MLB showdown at Citi Field in Queens. 

Ohtani Suffers Devastating Blow

Shohei Ohtani left Wednesday’s game with arm fatigue and a little bit later it was announced that he tore his UCL. He won’t pitch again this season, and it looks like he’s going to need Tommy John surgery. There was so much buzz about this offseason for him, and now there are a lot of question marks. The Angels are averaging 4.74 runs while their pitching is giving up 5.09 runs per game. The offense is ranked 10th in the league while the pitching is ranked 25th. Ohtani has hit 44 home runs and driven in 91 RBIs so far this season.

Shane’s Free Pick

Senga was lights out in his last start, and he’s going to lockdown again in this game. I am also not sold on the Mets offense and on Wendsday the offense failed to score any runs. The Mets offense is going to have some major issues, scoring also here, and this game is going to stay low scoring. Back the under to cash here.
