Notable Starts:

Shohei Ohtani was outstanding in his season debut, throwing six innings with no runs allowed and ten strikeouts. Ohtani allowed zero barrels with a 20% hard-hit rate and a 12.9% SwStr. He will face the Mariners today, who have a solid offense, but a team that Ohtani should be able to have his way with. He  has a 1.8 overall rating today and a 2.4 K rating, which may undersell just how well he will...
