The Los Angeles Angels are the luckiest team on earth.
Not only have they had the services of Mike Trout - who many consider to be the best player in baseball - for the past 13 seasons, but they also employ Shohei Ohtani, who some say is slowly taking over that title. Combined, they have four MVP awards and one Ohtani ROY honor over the last 13 years. Some teams go decades without having an elite talent, let alone two, and for Ohtani, this season appears to be all about what he can accomplish from an individual perspective. The 2023...

The Los Angeles Angels are the luckiest team on earth.
Not only have they had the services of Mike Trout - who many consider to be the best player in baseball - for the past 13 seasons, but they also employ Shohei Ohtani, who some say is slowly taking over that title. Combined, they have four MVP awards and one Ohtani ROY honor over the last 13 years. Some teams go decades without having an elite talent, let alone two, and for Ohtani, this season appears to be all about what he can accomplish from an individual perspective. The 2023 AL MVP odds race appears all but wrapped up in Ohtani’s favor, as he is the current MLB HR title odds favorite and he still in the Top 5 in 2023 AL Cy Young odds. He is currently on pace to hit 59 home runs, which puts him in the conversation of potentially reaching Aaron Judge’s home run record of 62 set just last year. Let’s take a look at what the sportsbooks have to say about Ohtani’s chances at making history this season.

Records are made to be broken
Before we take a deep dive into Ohtani’s stats and how I believe the second half of the season will go for the Angels superstar, let’s break down the top five home run outputs in the American League throughout the history of baseball:  Year
Player
Home runs
Team 2022
Aaron Judge
62
New York Yankees 1961
Roger Maris
61
New York Yankees 1927
Babe Ruth
60
New York Yankees 1921
Babe Ruth
59
New York Yankees 1932
Jimmie Fox
59
Philadelphia Athletics If this list feels outdated to you, it’s because it is. Outside of Aaron Judge who broke Roger Maris’ AL home run record that stood for 61 years, you must go back to 2002 for the last time someone got within five home runs of Maris, and that was Alex Rodriguez, who hit 57 bombs. What Judge did last year was special and it was a treat to be able to watch such an incredible record get broken, but something tells me with the way things are trending in baseball right now, we won’t have to wait another 61 years for a new AL home run king.

Call 1-800-GAMBLER Ohtani's 2023 season trajectory As the number of ways to describe Ohtani’s brilliance is dwindling, his home run count and production for the Angles are steadily increasing. He’s got a slash line of .296/.383/.650 and he’s already driven in 68 runs and added 31 home runs – all before the All-Star break. The easy way to answer the question of ‘will Ohtani break Judge’s record’ is to just double his production and, voila he’s tied the record. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Ohtani runs the risk of injury both at the plate and when takes the bump every fifth day, and any sort of missed time would put Ohtani behind the season-long pace required to hit 63 longballs. He’s currently dealing with a blister which caused him to be removed early from a pitching start, but he did stay in the game as the DH. If we compare the pace Ohtani is on this season to Judg...
