Dodgers await Shohei Ohtani's breakout in NLCS slump

Original: shohei ohtani

Shohei Ohtani is mired in a batting slump as the Los Angeles Dodgers face the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2026 NLCS, but the team keeps winning anyway. Manager Dave Roberts has not decided where Ohtani will hit in the lineup, and reports say the Dodgers remain confident the two-way star will break out, pointing to his history of offensive surges in past series.

Why now: The Dodgers are in the middle of the NLCS and fans are watching whether Ohtani can snap his slump in the next games.
