.ohtani just got whooped by the padres the other day the angels hasn't been consistent
Doesn't matter for June's POTM because that happened in July

Acuna has been on fire also plus the braves have the best record in the league right now
The Braves record is completely irrelevant to the POTM discussion.
Ohtani offensively smoked Acuna in every category except stolen bases.
Ohtani had
6 more HRs
1 More Run Scored
7 More RBIs
ISO 230 points higher
BA 38 points higher
OBP 63 points higher
SLG 269 points higher
wRC+ 86 points higher
Off Runs above Average 11 points Higher
WAR 1 point higher (that is a big gap for only one month)They each won the actual MLB POTM for their respective leagues but I still think SDS holds them both back so they can be the top cards in the All Star
Ohtani had a great season last year but don't remember him having a potm card....angels got overlooked alot because their team sucked last season
Well, to be fair, Ohtani never won the actual MLB's player of the month or pitcher of the month last year at all.
Last year was a different beast though as it was rare for the actual winner of the MLB's Player of The Month to get the lightning card in the game. Judge won the award 3 times in the AL. Arenado won it twice in the NL. Goldschmidt won it once in the NL and none of them earned a lightning card (or any POTM).
