Los Angeles (KABC) – Led by two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani, the Dodgers will keep their match against the Reds on Wednesday night in Game 2 of the National League Wildcard Series.
After the momentum over Cincinnati in the series opener, the Dodgers led 1-0 in the series and would continue to enter the division series if they could get another win in another Chavez Ravine win. The game is scheduled to begin at 6:08 pm.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto (12-8, 2.49 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 201 strikeouts) was named as the possible starter of Los Angeles Wednesday night, and Zack Littell (10-8, 3.81 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 130 WHIP, 130 strikeouts) will receive Reds.
Freddie Freeman has three-pointers, three home runs and seven RBIs in the last 10 games. Ohtani led the Dodgers with 89 additional base hits (25 doubles, 9 3-pointers and 55 home runs).
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before his workout at Dodger Stadium on Monday that he would “may” release potential decisive game 3 of the wildcard series, or in the opener of the National League Division Series that ensued.
Ohtani played the final regular season on September 23. Meanwhile, Yamamoto lined up for the match during his normal five-day break. Roberts said he allowed Ohtani to use his game the day after his game started, and he played a role in stopping him.
The Dodgers have an overall 93-69 in their home game, 52-29, with their third-place finish in the national league at .253.
The overall total of Cincinnati is 83-79 and the roads are 38-43. The Reds were 32-19 when they were not allowed to run home in the game.
As the playoffs approach, Major League Baseball is dealing with a series of online ticket thefts related to its stadium app.
The team met for the eighth time this season. The Dodgers rose 6-1 in the season series.
The Dodgers ended the regular season's sleepy, inconsistent season with a dominant approach, winning 15 games in 20 games. All in all, they had 93 wins, their lowest total in seven years and were far from the victory record, so many outsiders nailed them in the first place. This has forced them to play in a universal card for the first time since the MLB playoff format has expanded. But they think they have found their best self to enter the playoffs.
Elly de la Cruz led the Reds with 22 home runs while winning the .440. Spencer Steer has 8 in 34 games with 34 points and 7 RBIs in 34 games.
