It is absolutely incredible that the Los Angeles Angels have the best player in baseball in Mike Trout and the most amazing player in baseball in Shohei Ohtani, and yet no matter what those two players do, L.A. just can’t win.
It never gets easier to comprehend. Nights like Tuesday in Anaheim only add to that confusion.
The Angels entered the day -180 on the moneyline at Tipico for a home matchup against a Kansas City team in the depths of a rebuild and dead last in the American League Central. Naturally, Ohtani absolutely teed off on them.
