Game Preview

Max Scherzer has faced 11,879 batters in his 16 years in the majors, regular and postseason combined, but he has never stared down Shohei Ohtani.

The 39-year-old right-hander, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, should get the chance when he takes the mound for the Texas Rangers in the opener of a three-game series against the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Monday night.

Ohtani is expected to be back in his familiar designated hitter spot, and the 2021 AL MVP should be eager to see what he can accomplish against Scherzer, who hasn’t pitched against the Angels since the 2014 season, four years before Ohtani arrived in Anaheim.
