The match between the Angels and the Yankees, to which Shohei Ohtani belongs, was canceled due to rain, and a doubleheader will be held on the 2nd.
Otani, who was originally scheduled to start in the game on the 2nd, will be pitching in the first game.
As a pitcher, Otani has achieved 3 wins and 3 losses and an ERA of 3.45 so far this season, but he hasn't won in the last three games and is aiming for his fourth win since the 5th of last month.
The Angels and Yankees match on the 1st was canceled due to rain, and a doubleheader will be held on the 2nd. It was decided to pitch in.
On the other hand, the Yankees starting pitcher is the left-handed Cortez pitcher, who has scored 4 wins and 1 loss so far this season and has an ERA of 1.70, which is second in the American League.
When Cortez played against Otani in June last year, he suddenly threw it with a quick or sidearm, and it became a hot topic to try to shift the timing with various irregular pitching methods for each ball. I did.
Otani was beaten by the center fly at this time, but it seems that attention will be focused on how Cortez will challenge Otani in the first match in about a year.
The doubleheader is scheduled to start at 2:05 am on the 3rd of Japan time for the first game in which Otani will start, and at 8:05 am 6 hours later for the second game.
