The Toronto Blue Jays are back in the World Series for the first time in 32 years. Standing in the way of a championship is Shohei Ohtani and his Los Angeles Dodgers.
When we last saw Ohtani, he was striking out 10 Milwaukee Brewers while also hitting three home runs, becoming the first pitcher to go deep three times in a start since Jim Tobin in 1942.
The 31-year-old has made two starts this postseason, logging a 2-0 record while striking out 19 batters over 12 innings. Ohtani also has five home runs with a .220 batting average in 48 plate appearances.
In 33 career games against the Blue Jays, Ohtani has a .314 batting average with 11 home runs and 27 RBIs.

Shohei Ohtani to Hit a Leadoff Home Run +110
Already with two leadoff home runs in 10 postseason games, Ohtani is priced at +110 on FanDuel to make history with a third in the World Series.
According to Sarah Langs, Ohtani’s two leadoff home runs in these playoffs have him tied with five other players for the most in a single postseason.
Earlier this season, Ohtani hit a leadoff home run against the Blue Jays in a series that featured him going 7-of-13 with five runs.
