Dodgers open playoffs against Braves with Ohtani at leadoff spot

Original: ドジャース 試合

The Los Angeles Dodgers begin their National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves, with Shohei Ohtani batting second as designated hitter in Game 1. Japanese sports media are focused on whether Ohtani can deliver his first home run in 46 days, with the afternoon game played in extreme heat of around 38 degrees Celsius as the Dodgers chase a first three-peat of the century.

Why now: The MLB postseason is starting and Ohtani's slump at the plate plus the brutal heat are drawing attention in Japan.
