Dodgers’ Game 7 World Series Pitching Strategy Unveiled
The Los Angeles Dodgers are evaluating their pitching strategy for a possible Game 7 of the World Series. They are considering starting Shohei Ohtani as an opener, contingent on winning Game 6.
Game 7 Pitching Strategy
Ohtani’s potential start is influenced by a rule that affects the designated hitter (DH) status. If he pitches in relief, the team would lose the DH. Starting him, however, allows the Dodgers to retain that advantage.
If Ohtani takes the mound on three days’ rest, he may pitch for a few innings before handing over the game to Tyler Glasnow. The decision hinges on the Dodgers winning their upcoming game.
Matchup Highlights
Should Ohtani start Game 7, it would present an exciting face-off against Max Scherzer, who is expected to pitch for the Toronto Blue Jays. Both pitchers are potential Hall of Famers, making this matchup particularly intriguing for baseball fans.
Upcoming Dates
- Game 6: October 31, 2025
- Possible Game 7: TBD
This strategic approach underlines the Dodgers’ commitment to maximizing their performance in critical playoff moments.
