Shohei Ohtani’s bat has gone quiet, but the Dodgers keep winning for now

Shohei Ohtani's offensive production has declined during the postseason, despite leading the Dodgers to a four-game sweep in last year's NLCS. He struggled with injuries during the regular season, missing 139 games due to right biceps and left knee issues. In the NL Division Series, Ohtani went 2 for 13 (.154) with two walks, four strikeouts, and one stolen base.

Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged Ohtani's high expectations and self-evaluation. As Ohtani's performance declines, the Dodgers' pitching has become even more crucial.
