Ohtani was 42 for 107 (.393) in the month with 10 home runs and 32 RBIs in 26 games. He had an OPS of 1.225 and stole 16 bases, while authoring the first 50-50 season in MLB history.

Ohtani's impressive record-setting season is expected to go up in smoke in the playoffs since the Los Angeles Dodgers have almost no starting pitching. Their starters ERA over the last 15 games is well over 6 per game.
