The Los Angeles Dodgers hold a commanding 3-0 lead over the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series despite Shohei Ohtani not looking like his usual self at the plate.
The two-way star is just 2-for-11 with an RBI and three walks through three NLCS games. Ohtani has largely struggled in the postseason as a whole as he’s hitting just .158/.273/.368 with one triple, two home runs, six RBI, six walks and 17 strikeouts in 44 plate appearances.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts previously implied that Ohtani’s lack of production could be related to his pitching obligations.
