Ohtani vs. Scherzer in Game 7

Game 7 of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays is a winner-take-all at the Rogers Centre, with Toronto chasing its first title in 32 years and the Dodgers pursuing back-to-back championships. The Dodgers have officially named two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani their Game 7 starter on three days' rest, taking advantage of MLB’s DH provision that lets him remain the designated hitter after leaving the mound. Toronto countered by naming veteran Max Scherzer as its starter, setting up a marquee pitching duel. Los Angeles plans to use Ohtani for a few innings and then turn to a deep bullpen (with Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell available for bulk innings), a move that keeps his bat in the lineup but carries obvious short-rest risk. Ohtani also brings historic offensive upside and has been elite this postseason both as a hitter and pitcher. Lineups, odds and broadcast details were released ahead of the 8 p.m. ET FOX telecast.
