With everything on the line, the Dodgers are sending Shohei Ohtani to the mound on short rest.
They didn’t have much of a choice.
Dealing with a struggling bullpen and clinging to a two run lead, the Dodgers sent potential Game 7 starter Tyler Glasnow to the mound Friday night to close out the thrilling Game 6 win.
He recorded the final three outs, which included the thrilling game-ending double play in the 3-1 triumph.
That put Ohtani — who the Dodgers don’t want coming out of the bullpen due to MLB’s quirky designated hitter rules that would strip him of his ability to hit — in the driver’s seat.
While we shouldn’t expect Ohtani to go all nine innings on such little rest, I’m not expecting the Dodgers to handle him with kid gloves.
Ohtani hasn’t been taxed like you’d expect an ace-like arm would be during a deep postseason run.

He has pitched just three games this October, tossing exactly six innings in each start and averaging 94 pitches per appearance.
As mentioned, the Dodgers’ relievers haven’t been great this postseason, posting a 4.30 ERA after struggling all season.
With no game Sunday, I don’t see Dave Roberts turning to Emmet Sheehan, Clayton Kershaw, Blake Treinen or anyone else out of the Dodgers’ ‘pen before exhausting his two-way star.
And this time, Ohtani won’t be taking the mound coming off an 18-inning marathon of a game like he did in Game 4, when he took the loss.
Ohtani should be given every opportunity to get as many outs as he can.
The Play: Shohei Ohtani Over 9.5 outs recorded (-115, FanDuel Sportsbook)
