Shohei Ohtani Would Start a Potential Game 5 of NLDS
Shohei Ohtani would start a potential Game 5 of the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies if the series goes that long, according to manager Dave Roberts. Ohtani pitching in relief for the rest of this series is "not on our radar," Roberts added. Despite allowing three earned runs in his start in Game 1 on Saturday at Citizens Bank Park, Ohtani managed to pick up the win after the Dodgers made a comeback. The 31-year-old All-Star struck out nine hitters and walked only one in six innings of work in what was his first career postseason start as a pitcher. Ohtani can do it all on the baseball diamond, but he went hitless in four at-bats with four strikeouts at the plate in Game 1. If the NLDS against the Phillies is wrapped up before a deciding Game 5, Ohtani would be in play to start Game of the NL Championship Series against either the Milwaukee Brewers or Chicago Cubs.
