Topline:
The Dodgers will play the Blue Jays on Tuesday night in Game 4 of the World Series. It's L.A.'s second home game in the series, and first pitch is at 5 p.m. Will it be as thrilling as Game 3? At 6 hours, 39 minutes, Monday night's game already is considered an instant classic.
Where do things stand? The Dodgers are up 2-1 after an epic Game 3 at home that lasted 18 innings and ended on a walk-off homer by Freddie Freeman. The Dodgers could win at home if they take the next two games. They haven't done that since sweeping the Yankees back in 1963.
Who is pitching? Shohei Ohtani is the starting pitcher tonight for the Dodgers, following a history-making appearance on offense Monday night. Ohtani became the first player in post-season history to reach base nine times. He had two doubles and two homers in his first four at-bats before being walked in his final five plate appearances (four times intentionally).
