Overview
- Tyler Glasnow recorded the final three outs of Game 6, making him less likely to start Game 7, according to The Sporting News.
- Shohei Ohtani is increasingly viewed as the tentative Game 7 starter on short rest with an estimated 50–80 pitch limit.
- Starting Ohtani would keep him in the batting order under MLB's two-way player rule, which would not apply if he entered in relief.
- The Dodgers are expected to deploy multiple pitchers in the winner-take-all game, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto among the options after exiting Game 6 after six innings.
- The plan remains unconfirmed as the team has not announced its Game 7 starter, and reporting is characterized as developing.
