When Shohei Ohtani will pitch in the World Series is big decision for Dodgers

10 hours ago 3

Everyone wants to see Shohei Ohtani pitch in the World Series.

The wait won't be too much longer for the Los Angeles Dodgers' two-way superstar.

Ohtani isn't taking the mound in the first three games, though.

It was Blake Snell in Game 1, Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 2 and Tyler Glasnow in Game 3 on Monday.

Ohtani's last outing was Game 4 of the NLCS, when he went six shutout innings, struck out 10 and also hit three home runs.

When is Shohei Ohtani going to pitch?

Ohtani is slated to be the Dodgers' Game 4 starter in the World Series.

He will be opposed by Toronto Blue Jays righty Shane Bieber.

There's a distinct reason the Dodgers have done Glasnow in Game 3 and Ohtani in Game 4. It has to do with Game 7.

The Dodgers, if they get to Game 7, will have both available.

In a Game 7, Glasnow would start, and Ohtani would be available out of the bullpen.

First, though, Ohtani will get one of the most highly anticipated pitching starts in World Series history on Tuesday night.
