He\u2019ll have a shot to deliver the finishing blow as part of LA\u2019s pitching staff as he\u2019ll be starting for Los Angeles tonight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Boy, oh boy. He certainly did deliver one absolute whammy of a finishing blow, didn\u2019t he? The Dodgers are now in the World Series for the third time in four seasons after Shohei Ohtani broke his silence by delivering one of the greatest performances you\u2019ll ever see in a Postseason game. It was simply astonishing to witness that last night and while it\u2019s still a bit of a bummer that he is simply just another cog in the juggernaut machine that is the Dodgers, it\u2019s worth it to see him shine on the Postseason stage like this.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Anyways, the Dodgers have won the NL Pennant and by the end of tonight\u2019s action, we will either see the Mariners clinch the AL Pennant or we\u2019ll have a Winner-Take-All Game 7 in Toronto on Sunday night for the right to go to the World Series. Can the Mariners finally make it to their first-ever World Series? Or will the Blue Jays turn up the drama factor and gie us baseball fans a Game 7 tomorrow?
