Dodgers Gamble Big: Ohtani to Start Game 7 on Short Rest

LOS ANGELES – In a stunning move that underscores the high stakes, the Los Angeles Dodgers will start Shohei Ohtani in tonight’s decisive Game 7, manager Dave Roberts announced after their Game 6 victory. Ohtani, who pitched six innings in Game 4, will be pitching on just three days’ rest, a rarity for the two-way superstar.

“We need everything we’ve got,” Roberts stated in the post-game press conference, confirming that all pitchers, with the exception of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, are available for the winner-take-all matchup. This includes Tyler Glasnow, who closed out Game 6, and Roki Sasaki, who appeared earlier in the game.

Roberts highlighted that starting Ohtani provides a strategic advantage, allowing him to remain in the lineup as the designated hitter even after his pitching stint. A relief appearance would force Ohtani to play the outfield in order to remain in the lineup.

The Blue Jays will counter with veteran Max Scherzer and have nearly their entire pitching arsenal at their disposal. This includes 22-year-old phenom Trey Yesavage, who delivered a dominant performance in Game 5. Despite Saturday being his scheduled bullpen day, Yesavage could be called upon to pitch in the biggest game of the season.

“If the people who make the decision think it’s a good idea for the team,” Yesavage said, “then I’m all for it.”

With both teams pulling out all the stops, Game 7 promises to be a nail-biting affair.
