Commentary and Insights

The Dodgers traded for Tarik Skubal to help win their third consecutive World Series. Skubal, who will soon turn 30, has won two Cy Young awards and may sign a record-breaking contract.

Shohei Ohtani has not been as effective in this series due to injuries affecting his performance. Despite the circumstances, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is not considering taking Ohtani out of the lineup.

In Game 2, the Dodgers lost 3-2 and are now faced with breaking their reliance on home runs. They must focus on manufacturing runs through strategic batters’ use, as they ranked highly in walks and low in strikeouts during the regular season.

Shohei Ohtani was moved to fifth in the batting order for Game 3, responding humorously to manager Dave Roberts’ decision.

The Dodgers will need to address their concerns in the game to overcome the Braves, who have the edge with their ace Chris Sale on the mound for this game.
