That is actually pretty close, but there are a few unique issues when pricing Ohtani:
1) Stand alone DH $8.8M SP $8.2M
2) Both those prices assume a min roster spot of $.50, so you have to subtract $.50 from any combined card, because Ohtani is filling 1 not 2 roster slots
3) Ohtani's "pitcher card" has an injury risk other pitchers do not have, (i.e. Ohtani getting injured while batting). So a discount for missed starts based the hitters injury rating is also factored in.
4) Pricing is based on optimal park environments, however, Ohtani's best park as a hitter, is not his best park as a pitcher, so an additional adjustment must be made to find his best combined park, which will be lower than the max values above.
So depending on how you assign those adjustment between hitting and pitching prices will get you to your final split. My best guess would be $8.4/$7.4, so your rough estimate is fairly accurate.
