The Blue Jays have pitched to Shohei Ohtani, and our expert Game 6 World Series predictions expect the Dodgers slugger to get some wood on the ball tonight!
The Los Angeles Dodgers have to consider the rules for Shohei Ohtani staying in the lineup when it comes to constructing a game plan.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will consider using Shohei Ohtani as an opener or outfielder in Game 7 if the World Series against Toronto goes the distance.
During Game 4 of the Dodgers' sweep of the Brewers in the National League Championship Series, Shohei Ohtani belted three home runs and notched 10 strikeouts from the mound en route to a night many called the best in the annals of the game.
“We’d consider everything,” Roberts said when asked about his plan for Ohtani in the rest of the series. “It’s more of just doing whatever we can to get through [Game 6] tomorrow and pick up the pieces and then see what’s the best way to attack a potential Game 7. So everything should be on the table and will be for sure.”
A night after the Los Angeles Dodgers’ two-way superstar treated baseball fans to one of the greatest performances in World Series history, he looked just fine on the mound and struggled at the plate.
The Los Angeles Dodgers could utilize Shohei Ohtani in a variety of roles with the team facing elimination in the 2025 World Series.
That would be Ruth, obviously. He played for 22 seasons with a career WAR of 182.6, the highest all-time. Ohtani’s career WAR is 62.2. What made Ruth unique was his ability to out-shine two and even three generations of players. No one came close over those 22 years.
Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani sent a message to his team, Blake Snell felt 'unlucky' during Game 5, and LA is linked to a blockbuster trade.
