US EditionDylan Hernández: What's at Stake for Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers in a World Series Game 7?
- On Saturday night at Rogers Centre, Shohei Ohtani will start Game 7 of the 2025 World Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers on three days' rest, a step Roberts noted is unprecedented in Ohtani's MLB career.
- Driven by MLB's two-way player rule and rotation depth, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and the front office chose Shohei Ohtani to start while Yoshinobu Yamamoto remains unavailable.
- Planners note that if Shohei Ohtani starts, he is likeliest to go once through the lineup before yielding to Tyler Glasnow, Dodgers pitcher, or Blake Snell, Dodgers starter, or be limited to two or three innings as an opener.
- Because of roster intricacies, the Los Angeles Dodgers made the decision official Saturday afternoon, noting that if Shohei Ohtani entered as a reliever they would lose his bat when he left the mound.
- The matchup places Ohtani at the center of baseball history, facing 41-year-old future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer in a generational duel supported by Ohtani's postseason brilliance and 63 home runs with 20 steals this year.
