One of the concerns is whether Ohtani will be able to garner an RBI single on the first day of three consecutive weekends. In an away game against the Chicago White Sox in the 2024 Major League Baseball held at Caranted Rate Field in Chicago, Illinois on Sunday, Ohtani hit a home run from the first at bat, contributing to his team’s 4-0 victory. He hit an RBI single in 10 consecutive games, setting a new club record.
Ohtani had an RBI in 10 consecutive games since his home game against the Kansas City Royals on the 17th. This will be the first time for the LA Dodgers to have a “single-season consecutive game RBI” since 1920, when the RBI was recognized as an official record. The previous records are Eddie Brown in 1924, Ozzy Gallan in 1944, and Roy Campanella in 1955.
Will he be able to continue his away record in San Francisco? On the first day of the three consecutive games Ohtani will face, Logan Webb was the starting pitcher for San Francisco. Webb is 6-6 with a 3.16 ERA in 17 games this season. Although he is a pitcher who constantly blocks 6-7 innings, he has also shown signs of nervousness recently. He has 2 wins and 2 losses with a 4.09 ERA in the past five games, and he has a .268 batting average and three homers. 슬롯사이트 순위
On the 24th, when he took the mound just before, he pitched six innings and four runs in an away game in St. Louis. The Dodgers faced the loss on April 3 at Dodger Stadium with seven hits (one homer) and five runs during three ⅔ innings. Ohtani was hitless at the time.
Since then, Webb pitched six scoreless innings against the Dodgers at home on April 16 and became the winning pitcher. At that time, Ohtani walked in his first at-bat, struck out in his second at-bat, and had a hit in his third at-bat.
Ohtani, who is serving as the first batter due to Mookie Betts’ injury, is having a hot June. He has been the No. 1 hitter with a batting average of .322 in the entire Major League through Sunday, and ranks first with 25 homers in the National League, 1.045 in the OPS, and third with 61 RBIs in the RBI.
How will Ohtani fare in this third meeting? Meanwhile, the Dodgers will put right-hander Landon Ngak as the starting pitcher on the first day of the three consecutive away games. Ngak is 1-1 with a 2.10 ERA in five games this season. He pitched five scoreless innings against the Los Angeles Angels on the 22nd, when he took the mound just before. However, his luck did not follow.
