It all comes down to this.
After a back-and-forth series, the Dodgers forced a Game 7 last night behind Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who threw another gem. Today’s game will feature two legends and it promises to be a wild ending.
Shohei Ohtani (2-1, 3.50 ERA) will take the mound for the Dodgers to start the game. He’ll likely be used as an opener for Tyler Glasnow, who threw three pitches last night to secure his first career save in a crazy doubles that ends the game. In his final appearance in Game 4 at Dodger Stadium, Ohtani lasted six innings and gave up four runs on six hits. Two of his four runs were scored by a two-run homer by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the third inning. Ohtani also walked one and struck out six. The night before, he went 3-for-4 with five walks (four intentional) and two home runs in the 18-inning Game 3 marathon.
Ohtani will face the legendary Max Scherzer (1-0, 4.50 ERA), who looks to cement his legacy. The 41-year-old is making his 32nd career postseason appearance (27th start). Scherzer kicked off the 18-inning Game 3 marathon, lasting 4 1/3 innings and allowing three runs on five hits with three strikeouts and a walk. He allowed two home runs: one to Teoscar Hernández in the second inning, and one to Ohtani in the third.
Will the Dodgers repeat as champions, or will the Blue Jays hoist the “piece of metal” for the first time since the Rockies’ inaugural season?
