Shohei Ohtani (1-1, 2.87) vs. Cristopher Sánchez (13-5, 2.50).
In the marquee game of the day--pushed later in the evening (screwing the Cubs @ Brewers!), just to further elevate the contest--the Dodgers are giving what the worldwide MLB audience wants to see: Shohei Ohtani's first postseason pitching start.
Holy shit, this is huge.
But here's the problem (which I'm sure the Phillies are already considering): Ohtani hasn't gone beyond six innings all year. In fact, the last time he pitched into the seventh inning was July 27, 2023 (a complete game win over Detroit, when Ohtani was with the Angels). And we all know what happened after that, with regards to his injury. The bubblewrap has to be on Ohtani for this start (which may not be such a bad idea when he's pitching, lest a comebacker go up the middle).
And then that means we have to deploy the bullpen, upon which the Phillies are gonna feast.
So yeah, I'm psyched for the Ohtani start. I'm just dreading what comes next.

best option is to relieve Ohtani with Kershaw who i have absolutely no playoff confidence in. that's how bad i think the pen is. Roki closes.

its kinda ridiculous that the Dodgers pitched 3 starting pitchers today and no actual relief pitchers. just 1 starter to start the game and 2 starters to finish off the game. never seen that in all my life me thinks. and in a post season game as well.
i forgot about Vesia. damn. fuck it. I'm drunk leave me alone
