Episode notes
Otani's Strong But Not Untouchable
- Shohei Ohtani pitched six strong innings and struck out the side in the fourth, showing elite stuff despite the previous night's marathon.
- His outing still left room for Toronto to find success later in the game.
Manufactured Offense Wins Game 4
- The Blue Jays manufactured offense with timely hits and pressure, notably Vlad Guerrero Jr.'s two-run homer and Bo Bichette's RBI single.
- That approach overcame the Dodgers' strong starting pitching and tied the series 2-2.
Evenly Matched Teams
- The Blue Jays matched the Dodgers through pitching and situational at-bats rather than pure power hitting.
- That balance makes this World Series feel extremely even and unpredictable.
