Then when I looked at the game log and he pitched 6 shutout innings before the wheels fell off.

And yet you admit that the wheels did indeed 'fall off'.

Shoeless Joe Jackson had very good numbers in the World Series for the Sox. Yet he knew the entire time the games were fixed. He was banned from baseball for being an accessory.

There is no way you can ever prove that Ohtani didnt do the same

But how could shohei have known that the Angels would've left him in long enough in the 7th to give up 6 runs while giving up 0 runs through 6? It just doesn't make sense. Also the bet mentioned was braves over 6.5 runs

Look beyond his overall .375 batting average in that Series, compare Jackson’s numbers in the games the Black Sox were trying to lose and the ones they were trying to win … they weren’t trying to lose every game, they were trying to manipulate the betting line … and look at the play by play of the way he played in LF even if he didn’t get charged with errors. He wasn’t an accessory, he was in it up to his nostrils.
