Two tired teams take the field in game four of the World Series Tuesday night, getting underway at about 8 PM EDT/5 PM PDT. The Dodgers lead the series two games to one. Shane Bieber battles Shohei Ohtani. Bieber should be somewhat better rested than Ohtani, as he was one of the few players on either side who did not get into the eighteen inning game on Monday. Note that his 2025 three-true outcome line is very similar to his 2022 post season. His ERA that year was over two runs lower than his 4.38 ERA in 2025. The difference comes allowing 16 hits in 2025 compared to eight hits in 2022. His high K rate is not leading to fewer hits.

Ohtani has not allowed a home run in 12 post-season innings, so he’s out homering his opponents by eight this year. We’ll see just how much Ohtani’s body can take tonight. It’s quite possible that the fatigue of Monday causes him to leave the mound early. On the other hand, he keeps performing amazing feats, so I won’t be surprised if he pitches a perfect game.

Enjoy!
