Freddie Freeman #5, Mookie Betts #50, Shohei Ohtani #17, and manager Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles Dodgers stand before Game Three of the Division Series against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park on October 08,

Walker Buehler, who in August was considered a long-shot to even make the postseason roster, closed out the final inning of the World Series with a pair of strikeouts. Go figure.

After being down five runs, the Dodgers moved into World Series-winning position, and it was almost entirely thanks to the Yankees. Blake Treinen threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings to push the lead into the ninth, and then Walker Buehler, the Dodgers' likely Game 7 starter, finished a game that should make Yankees fans vomit for years to come.

There was a lot of hype and speculation on Shohei Ohtani's potential impact on the Los Angeles Dodgers' 2024 season when he was signed for a 10-year contract worth $700M.

Earlier this week, we wrote a story about how Shohei Ohtani's recent labrum surgery could delay his return to the mound in 2025. A story in the Los Angeles Times essentially confirms that will be the case.
