Armstrong and the Dodgers’ two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani continue to match each other blow for blow, and their projected offensive numbers tell a similar story.Besides having a massive lead in stolen bases, Armstrong is nearly identical to Ohtani in other offensive stats. The Chicago OF has a .279 batting average, 31 home runs, 79 RBIs, and a .928 OPS, compared with Ohtani’s .292/30/80/.944 so far this campaign as the postseason fast approaches.If the Japanese phenom fails to resume pitching this season, Cubs fans can make a strong case for Armstrong to win the MVP honors. Ultimately, the award will be decided by the final votes and the metrics under consideration.Also read:“MLB Rigging Right In Front Of Us” – Fans Furious After Foul Call On Pete Alonso’s HR in Orioles’ 5-3 Loss Vs.
