Shohei Ohtani is Set to Decide World Series Fate as Dodgers Take Command
The Los Angeles Dodgers have taken control of their World Series matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays, with the team now -475 favorites to celebrate a championship. After a marathon, 18-inning Game 3 that saw Freddie Freeman walk-off for the winning run, Ohtani will take the mound for Game 4.
Ohtani himself has been a force to be reckoned with in this series, posting four extra-base hits and reaching base safely nine times thanks to five consecutive walks. He is now -400 favorites to win MVP honors, ahead of Blue Jays' outfielder Alejandro Kirk at +10-1.
The Dodgers are looking strong as they head into Game 4 at Dodger Stadium, but the Blue Jays have been no slouch in this series either. Their bullpens appear exhausted, and Shane Bieber will look to keep his team's hopes alive on the mound.
With the Dodgers holding a 2-1 lead, it remains to be seen how long their momentum can last. However, as of now, they are looking like the team to beat.

The way Ohtani is playing right now, I'm surprised he's not more than -700 favorites to win MVP... his stats are insane! 
I mean, five consecutive walks? That's wild. It'll be interesting to see how Shane Bieber holds up on the mound for the Blue Jays, but the Dodgers' bullpen seems sturdy. Dodger Stadium is gonna be electric in Game 4!

! Ohtani is an absolute beast on the mound and in the lineup - he's single-handedly carrying that Dodgers team to a championship 
. Hopefully, they take it easy on him for Game 4 and don't want to risk any long-term damage. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays need to step up their bullpen game - those guys are getting smoked 
!
. But at the same time, you can't deny the momentum the Dodgers have right now - they're looking like a well-oiled machine 
. I'm curious to see how long this will last though... 18-inning games are just brutal for players, let's hope both teams come out on top without too many injuries 
.
. The Dodgers are definitely looking strong right now, but you can't count out the Blue Jays just yet 
. I think it's anyone's game at this point, and Game 4 could go either way 
! shohei ohtani is on fire 
and the dodgers are looking unstoppable 
i mean, freddie freeman's walk-off in game 3 was insane 
and now they're taking control of this series 
but you never know what can happen in baseball - anything can happen in 9 innings 
anyway, i'm loving the energy around game 4 and can't wait to see ohtani take the mound again 
. The Dodgers need him to keep bringing that fire, but at the same time, the Blue Jays' bullpens are looking drained 
. Shane Bieber's gonna have his work cut out for him. Can Toronto mount a comeback or will LA take it all the way to the championship? Either way, I'm hyped 
. I mean, come on, the Blue Jays have been running around like their pants are on fire out there... they're toast. And can we talk about how old Shane Bieber looks on that mound? Like, is he still in his 20s? 
Anyways, it's gonna be a short series if the Dodgers keep raking at this pace. But hey, let's give it to Ohtani and see what kind of magic he works up on the mound 
.
. But for the Blue Jays to make a comeback, they're gonna need more than just Shane Bieber 
... their bullpens are basically toast 
.
It's not easy being on the other side, though. The Blue Jays have been giving it their all, and you can tell they're pouring their hearts out 
.
. i love how freddie freeman came through in game 3 tho, talk about a walk-off moment 
they need to step up and close out some innings 'cause blue jays' pitchers are lookin pretty worn out 
!
One thing's for sure, we're gonna see some amazing baseball on the field soon! The momentum Ohtani brings to the mound has me feeling like the Dodgers are all but done for 
. Game 4 is gonna be a real barnburner! 
the way Bieber's been pitching is all over the place 
and that bullpen? done 
Ohtani's been on fire 
and i'm literally dying to try it out rn... anyway, back to baseball... have you guys seen that new stadium the Blue Jays are trying to build? sounds kinda cool, but idk if it's worth all the hype... what do u think tho? 
and I'm not counting them out just yet. But at this point, it does look like the Dodgers are the ones to beat 
. This game 4 is gonna be EPIC 
! I'm all about the Dodgers taking control, but can't rule out an upset
