All rights reserved The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays will face each other in the ultimate winner-take-all matchup, Game Seven of the World Series. It’s all hands on deck for both pitching staffs with nine innings separating them from a championship. Two future Hall of Famers will take the mound tonight as the starting pitchers. In fact, they’ll directly face each other in the first plate appearance of the game. Shohei Ohtani will lead off as the designated hitter, then take the mound in the bottom of the first inning. His opponent will be 41-year-old Max Scherzer. Ohtani is widely expected to win his fourth MVP Award this year, and was named the National League Championship Series MVP. Scherzer’s trophy case is almost as full, as he owns three Cy Young Awards. There has never been a player like Ohtani in baseball history, but he’s going to be out of his comfort zone by pitching tonight. He typically requires at least five or six days of rest between outings, and has only pitched on fewer than five days’ rest once in his career. He’ll go on just three days’ rest in Game Seven, having thrown six innings and 93 pitches in Game Four on October 28. It’s unreasonable to expect Ohtani to go more than a few innings. Dodgers manger Dave Roberts will probably let him pitch for as long as he can shut down the Toronto lineup, but he’ll undoubtedly have a short hook. That will put the Dodgers at a disadvantage, since this is essentially a bullpen…
