The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

95%

Examples:

  • He reached base in all four trips to the plate, with two hits, two walks and two RBIs on his fifth-inning blast. The rest of the lineup, however, managed only three more hits.
  • In each of those games, Ohtani was on the losing side
  • The Angels, who made a habit of wasting big games from Ohtani during his six seasons in Anaheim, are eerily familiar with the feeling.
  • This season, in the first of the 10-year, $700-million contract he signed with the Dodgers last December, Ohtani has been the best player on a contending club that is not only cruising toward October, but is currently holding the best betting odds in all of baseball to win the World Series.

Conflicts of Interest

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • Despite a mammoth two-run home run from Ohtani that opened the scoring in the fifth inning, the Dodgers couldn't muster anything else.
  • The article is straightforward and factual, with no apparent deception.
