The Los Angeles Dodgers have confirmed that Shohei Ohtani will start as the pitcher in the crucial Game 7 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Despite previous indications of Ohtani not being part of the pitching plan for Game 6, manager Dave Roberts has decided to lean on the star player. Ohtani will be taking the mound on short rest, raising questions about his effectiveness after experiencing an off night earlier in the series. Speculation surrounded the possibility of using Ohtani in various roles, including as a relief pitcher, depending on the game situation. With both teams eager to clinch the championship, all eyes will be on Ohtani as he aims to lead the Dodgers to victory.
