The World Series is set.
Dodgers vs. Blue Jays. Toronto has home-field advantage.
Game 1 is Friday night in Toronto. Games 3-5 will be at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers are looking to become MLB's first back-to-back champions in 25 years.

Shohei Ohtani in NLCS Game 4:
As a pitcher: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 10 K
As a hitter: 3-for-3, 3 HRs, 3 RBIs
This is one of the greatest performances in MLB history to send the Dodgers to the World Series.
Dodgers starting pitchers in the NLCS:
- Blake Snell: 8 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 10 K
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto: 9 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K
- Tyler Glasnow: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 8 K
- Shohei Ohtani: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 10 K
That's a combined ERA of 0.63 across 28.2 innings.
Just straight dominance.
Roki Sasaki thus far in the postseason:
7 IP
1.29 ERA
3 Saves
4 Games Finished
Dave Roberts said he's available to pitch NLCS Game 4 even after pitching last night for the Dodgers.

Dodgers starting pitchers in the NLCS:
- Blake Snell: 8 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 10 K, W
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto: 9 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, W
- Tyler Glasnow: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 8 K, W
Shohei Ohtani is pitching tomorrow. The Dodgers are going for the sweep.
Dominance.
Dave Roberts said Shohei Ohtani will start Game 4 and could be available out of the bullpen in a Game 7.
It's the first time he's mentioned Ohtani potentially pitching in relief this postseason.
Tyler Glasnow is starting Game 3 (and would likely start a Game 7).

Blake Snell today: 7 IP, 2 ER, 1 BB, 9 K, 91 pitches
Alex Vesia, Edgardo Henriquez and Jack Dreyer in the 8th: 1 IP, 3 ER, 4 BB, 1 K, 59 pitches
The starters can only do so much for the Dodgers.
The Dodgers bullpen is doing what they did in the regular season.
Alex Vesia and Edgardo Henriquez have combined to get one out in the 8th. The bases are loaded with one out and now Jack Dreyer is coming in.
This feels like the least comfortable 6-run lead in MLB history.
Shohei Ohtani hit a home run in his first career postseason game last year.
He has two home runs in his first career Wild Card game this year.
He's also going to pitch for the Dodgers at some point this postseason. He's truly one of one.
Shohei Ohtani just put this game away.
He hits his second home run of the night and the Dodgers lead 8-0 in the sixth inning.
He hit it 113.5 mph and an unbelievable 454 feet. What a dominant performance from the Dodgers offense to open the playoffs.
Teoscar Hernandez is making every one of the $66 million he got this offseason worth it.
He, like Kiké Hernandez, is looking like one of those guys who turns it on when the lights are brightest.
He hits his second home run of the game and LA leads 6-0.
Teoscar Hernandez didn't have the best regular season. He saved his best for October.
He crushed a three-run home run to give the Dodgers a 4-0 lead.
Tommy Edman then went back-to-back for a 5-0 lead. The Dodgers have jumped all over Hunter Greene.
Shohei Ohtani kicked off the Dodgers' 2025 postseason with a leadoff home run.
It was 117.7 mph off the bat.
He is absolutely unreal.
The Dodgers lineup for Wild Card Game 1 vs the Reds:
1. Shohei Ohtani, DH
2. Mookie Betts, SS
3. Freddie Freeman, 1B
4. Max Muncy, 3B
5. Teoscar Hernandez, RF
6. Tommy Edman, 2B
7. Andy Pages, CF
8. Kiké Hernandez, LF
9. Ben Rortvedt, C
Blake Snell is pitching.

The Dodgers’ Wild Card opponent is set.
Gavin Lux and the Cincinnati Reds are coming to Dodger Stadium for a best-of-three series beginning on Tuesday.
If the Dodgers win, they’ll head to Philadelphia to face Walker Buehler and the Phillies in the NLDS.
Shohei Ohtani's 2025 regular season for the Dodgers:
Hitting: .282/.392/.692, 55 HR, 102 RBI, 20 SB, 25 2B, 9 3B, 146 R, 1.014 OPS
Pitching: 47 IP, 2.87 ERA, 62 K, .227 BAA
One of the great seasons of all time that will end in his fourth MVP award.
Shohei Ohtani with an unbelievable performance against the Phillies:
5 IP
0 H
0 ER
1 BB
5 K
68 pitches
Justin Wrobleski is now tasked with maintaining the Dodgers' no-hitter.
dodgersnation.com/dodgers-dave...
Shohei Ohtani is through 5 no-hit innings against the Phillies.
He has 5 strikeouts and has walked one batter. He’s at 68 pitches.
What a performance so far from the Dodgers’ two-way star.
Dodgers starting pitchers over the last 5 games:
Shohei Ohtani: 3.2 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 5 K
Yoshinobu Yamamoto: 8.2 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 10 K
Clayton Kershaw: 5.2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 8 K
Tyler Glasnow: 7 IP, 0 H, 1 ER, 11 K
Emmet Sheehan: 7 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 9 K
That's a combined ERA of 1.41. Just pure dominance.
Shohei Ohtani has thrown a baseball 101.7 mph this season as a pitcher.
He's now hit a baseball 120 mph off the bat as a hitter.
One of one.
Shohei Ohtani's 100th home run as a Dodger went 120 mph off the bat.
120 mph.
The Dodgers' two-way star is truly one of one.
Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani on his thigh injury:
"Right now, feels pretty good. I'm gonna do everything in my abilities to make sure it doesn't affect me going forward."
He said his "intention" is to return Friday against the Padres.
"I think we avoided worst-case scenario."
Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani was just hit by a 93.7 mph line drive square on the leg.
He was limping but is staying in the game as a pitcher for now.

The Dodgers just swept the Padres and take a 2-game series lead in the NL West.
They've gone 8-2 against the Padres this season.
Three days ago it looked like the sky was falling in LA. Suddenly, they're back in prime position to win the NL West for the 12th time in 13 years.
The Dodgers beat the Padres, 3-2, to tie up the NL West (LA holds the tiebreaker as they're 6-2 vs SD this year).
Clayton Kershaw allowed one run over six innings. Teoscar Hernandez gave LA a huge insurance run with a homer.
Alexis Diaz got two big outs in the 9th. Jack Dreyer got the save.
Clayton Kershaw in August in his 18th MLB season:
8/1 vs. Rays: 6 IP, 0 ER
8/8 vs. Blue Jays: 6 IP, 1 ER
8/15 vs. Padres: 6 IP, 1 ER
His season ERA is 3.01.
In a rotation full of $100 million (and $300 million and $700 million) aces, Kershaw has been as consistent as it gets.
Clayton Kershaw in Year 18 for the Dodgers:
77.2 IP
3.01 ERA
He's in the 2nd percentile in fastball velocity (89 mph) and 7th percentile in strikeout percentage, but is finding new ways to dominate at age 37.
What a special player.
Clayton Kershaw is through six innings against the Padres:
6 IP
2 H
1 ER
1 BB
3 K
His season ERA is down to 3.01. What a performance from the Dodgers' future Hall of Famer.
Clayton Kershaw is through five innings against the Padres.
He's allowed just one hit (a home run to Ramon Laureano) and has three strikeouts. He's at 67 pitches.
Dodgers lead 2-1.
The Dodgers pitching staff has been ravaged by injuries all year. The position player group is filling up at a brutal time:
- Max Muncy (oblique)
- Tommy Edman (ankle)
- Hyeseong Kim (shoulder)
- Kiké Hernández (elbow)
The top of the lineup needs to step up now more than ever.
