Seattle Mariners vs. Los Angeles Angels
The Angels won 8-7 in last night’s series opener and they’ll look to keep it rolling as they hand the ball to Shohei Ohtani tonight. The M’s try to get back into the win column with George Kirby in this one slated for 9:07 p.m. ET in Anaheim.
Kirby comes into tonight’s game at 7-3 with a 2.98 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over 21 starts. Most recently, the right-hander went 6.0 innings against the Braves on Saturday and limited them to one unearned run on three hits. The Mariners won the game and are now 6-1 over his last seven starts.
Ohtani has been great this season, going 12-8 with a 2.55 ERA and 1.06 WHIP over 24 starts. The right-hander is coming off of an outing against the Astros where he only allowed one earned run on six hits and two walks in 5.0 innings of work. He earned the win and the Halos have won his last three starts.
Both of these pitchers have been fantastic in September with Kirby posting a 1.00 ERA over two starts this month (9.0 IP) and Ohtani at 1.38 over two starts (13.0 IP). As for the head-to-head numbers this season, Kirby owns a 3.06 ERA against Los Angeles with a 1.13 WHIP and they’re hitting .254 against him. With Shohei, he’s made two starts against the Mariners in 2022 and posted a 1.50 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. They’re hitting just .217 against him. Let’s ride with NRFI in this potential pitcher’s duel out west.
