How many home runs does Ohtani end up with?

[beatlesrule]

He just hit his 40th home run of the season. There are 40 games left to play.

Troy Glaus holds the Angels record with 47. Do you think Ohtani passes Glaus?

If yes, does he get to 50 or hit more?

If no, does he just fall short with maybe 46?

You'd think at this pace, he gets to at least 50 but I don't know if that's a guarantee. Him also pitching means there is double chance of getting hurt. His season is historical and he is winning the MVP either way.

Seems he could easily hit 50.

So often he comes up and the bases are empty so why not pitch to him?

He’s on pace for 53, but I’ll go with 49.

i think he's got another hot streak in him, and i think it's soon. i'm going to say 51

[Angelsjunky]

He's slowed down a lot, with only three since July 29. But that includes 13 games without any, and all three of those in the last eight.

With 40 games left, my guess would be 8, so 48. He'll break the Angels single season record by 1, but not quite reach 50.

50.

AJ post... so he'll hit 74!

The Angels need Mike Trout to get back to give him some protection in the lineup. 

If that happens before September, I'm going with 53. If not, 48 as pitchers will probably just pitch around him.

No shit.  I really starting to worry about him.  Has it been 3 months?  For a calf?

Ask AO. He has a countdown clock

[totdprods]

I'll go with 54.

[HanfordGuy]

5-0!!!

[Torridd]

I'll say he just beats Glaus' record with 2 up and 49. This is his year. Hopefully, Rendon and Trout will make it more of a celebration next season.

[Dtwncbad]

He is on pace for 53 and I am really just hoping for 50+.

I am dreaming of a season where he keeps pitching great and ends up with just the one loss, going like 12-1, an ERA well under 3 and the 50+ homers.

A legitimately legendary season.

Why does Ohtani only have 18 GS compared to some of the top guys who have 22, 24, 25 ?

If you ignore the IP Ohtani would be one of the top guys in the AL.

 

[Duren, Duren]

44.

He hit a bad  mistake pitch  for 40. Otherwise he's been overpowered recently on high pitches and chasing low pitches. If he gets more mistake pitches then he will homer, but pitchers are very cautious now.

But his pitching is more of a priority. Homers get the attention, but an ace quality pitcher is more valuable. 

Getting at least 10 wins with few losses will cinch the MVP. Cy Young consideration if he really finishes strong on the mound. Not enough innings to win it probably but in the conversation.

Ohtani hit his 41st today.

Stupid Eppler for signing this guy.
