Having forced a winner-take-all Game 7 in the World Series, the Dodgers are handing the ball to their two-way superstar. Shohei Ohtani will start on the mound for the Dodgers, opposite the Blue Jays' Max Scherzer,

The Blue Jays are looking to rewrite history as the first home team since 2011 to take the win in game seven, and they might have just the perfect man on the mound to lead them to doing so, veteran pitcher Max Scherzer. Scherzer will be facing the two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani, but experience could prove vital in this situation.

Ohtani will pitch Game 7 of the World Series on three days rest while also serving in his customary spot as leadoff hitter and DH.

The Dodgers won a nail-biter of a Game 6 of the World Series on Friday, which forced a winner-take-all Game 7 on Saturday against the Blue Jays in Toronto. Shohei Ohtani is expected to start on the mound.

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.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have won the 2025 MLB title, and you can now buy officially licensed championship gear.

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.
