The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies will duke it out in the 2025 National League Division Series. It is expected to be a battle between NL favorites, and it starts with the pitching matchup in the first game.

Los Angeles will start superstar Shohei Ohtani. He is better known for his dominance at the plate and has only pitched sparingly recently due to injuries. Ohtani pitched in 14 games during the 2025 season and finished with a 1-1 record and a 2.87 ERA. He struck out 62 batters and allowed 15 earned runs in 47 innings of work.

One thing to watch will be how long Los Angeles lets Ohtani pitch. Of his 14 appearances, he pitched more than four innings only three times. His last outing of the regular season was his longest. Ohtani threw six scoreless innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks and struck out eight while allowing five hits. The Dodgers went on to lose the game 5-4.
