He's been dealing with an injured thumb for 2 months. With nothing to play for resting it for the last two regular season games before the WC series on Tuesday is the smart thing to do.

I agree, but hard to not do something like that, if the guy ahead of you gets

At 2/3 Ohtani's average would be .311, still .003 short.

Hopefully the Padres sit him. Ohtani would have to go 4-4 or 4-5 to pass him.

4/5 would do it if Arraez doesn't play

Seems like if Arraez wants the batting title he just needs to sit out.

Yea that is a crappy way to win it. Man up and play the game.

A crappy way to win would be being in 2nd, 2nd, and 4th, behind
