L.A. to start Snell in Game 1, Ohtani later in NLCS

The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced their pitching rotation for the upcoming National League Championship Series (NLCS). Blake Snell will take the mound for Game 1, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto will start in Game 2. This decision means that the highly anticipated matchup between Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers will only occur in one game during the series. The Dodgers' decision to start Snell and Yamamoto in the first two games suggests a strategic approach to their pitching staff, potentially aiming to establish an early advantage in the series. The decision also implies that Ohtani, the two-way superstar, will not have the opportunity to face the Dodgers in multiple games during the NLCS. This news will undoubtedly generate discussion and speculation among baseball fans and analysts, as they assess the implications of the Dodgers' pitching rotation and the potential impact on the series' outcome.
