Shohei Ohtani to start World Series Game 7 for Dodgers against Blue Jays and Max Scherzer

Shohei Ohtani will start Game 7 of the World Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Toronto Blue Jays, showcasing the two-way star on the mound in the sport's biggest game. Starting Ohtani makes more sense for the Dodgers than using him in relief. If Ohtani would start the game only as a DH and then would take the mound, the Dodgers would lose their DH and pitchers would have to bat in that slot if Ohtani was relieved.
