On this episode of The Dodgers Post, Jack Harris and Dylan Hern\u00e1ndez are in Toronto, where the Dodgers emphatically opened their World Series rematch with a blowout of the Blue Jays.<\/p>\n

They talk about the team\u2019s offensive surge, which has been led by Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and early breakout star Andy Pages; and whether the concerns that were raised by an opening-week slump have already been fixed.<\/p>\n

They also discuss Mookie Betts\u2019 oblique strain, and why the age of the roster will be an issue for the team to navigate this season.<\/p>\n

They then break down Roki Sasaki\u2019s latest start, the development of his new third pitch, and why he is struggling with his trademark splitter.<\/p>\n

And they revisit last year\u2019s World Series, with the Dodgers back in Toronto for the first time since their epic Game 7 triumph.<\/p>\n

All that and more, as the regular season gets into full swing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tue, April 7, 2026 at 4:18 PM UTC An image collage containing 3 images, Image 1 shows Los…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":669067,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2406],"tags":[1384,5,39,14692,815,29213,1165,4332,4333,774,57,3224,4331,4,1526,9723,9064,468,1558,282],"class_list":{"0":"post-669066","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-dodgers","8":"tag-andy-pages","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-dodgers","11":"tag-dylan-hernandez","12":"tag-freddie-freeman","13":"tag-jack-harris","14":"tag-la","15":"tag-la-dodgers","16":"tag-ladodgers","17":"tag-los-angeles","18":"tag-los-angeles-dodgers","19":"tag-losangeles","20":"tag-losangelesdodgers","21":"tag-mlb","22":"tag-mookie-betts","23":"tag-oblique-strain","24":"tag-roki","25":"tag-shohei-ohtani","26":"tag-the-dodgers","27":"tag-toronto"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116365415350131167","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=669066"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669066\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/669067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=669066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=669066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=669066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
