The Los Angeles Dodgers faced elimination after dropping two of three games at home to give the Toronto Blue Jays a 3-2 World Series lead. But the Dodgers won a do-or-die Game 6 on Friday, forcing a winner-take-all series finale.

The Dodgers will start Shohei Ohtani in Game 7 as Dave Roberts opted to give the ball to his best player with the season on the line. Ohtani last pitched in Game 4 on Tuesday and will take the mound in Toronto on four-days rest.

Roberts acknowledged that he doesn’t know how much he’ll get out of the reigning MVP in Game 7. However, the Dodgers’ manager will “read and react” to Ohtani, per the Los Angeles Times’ Jack Harris. The team will “let him run as long as he can” in the final game of the 2025 season.
