Shohei Ohtani and Dodgers Dominate ESPN's Early Season Baseball Schedule

Following his record $700 million contract with the Dodgers, Ohtani is set to be a regular feature on ESPN's 'Sunday Night Baseball'.

Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers will be featured on two of ESPN’s first three “Sunday Night Baseball” telecasts this season.
The Dodgers’ opening two games of the season, a two-game series against the Padres at Seoul, South Korea, on March 20 and 21, were also assigned to ESPN as an MLB special event.
Ohtani left the Los Angeles Angels last month to sign a record 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers.
The two-way star is expected to be a regular designated hitter but won't pitch following elbow ligament surgery.
Other Sunday night picks include the World Series champion Texas Rangers hosting the Houston Astros on April 7 in a rematch of last year's American League Championship Series, the Rangers at the Atlanta Braves on April 21, the Chicago Cubs at the Boston Red Sox on April 28 and the Cubs at the Cardinals on May 26.
