The Los Angeles Dodgers raced to an early 2-0 lead over the MLB's best team. And have done it without Shohei Ohtani dominating at the bat. The rising Most Valuable Player contender has faced some rare hitting struggles during the National League Championship Series (NLCS) versus the Milwaukee Brewers.
Ohtani himself acknowledged the offensive lapses during the series on his end. Yet he believes it's a more strategic thing Milwaukee has thrown at him when speaking with reporters Wednesday .
“I think it makes sense strategically on their side to use a lot of left-handed pitchers against me,” Ohtani said via a translator.
He then dove into how he'll counter as the MLB Playoffs continue on.
“All I'm focused on is better quality at-bats,” Ohtani added.
