The Dodgers won series against the Padres and Giants last week, their closest pursuers in the National League West, thanks to strong performances by Shohei Ohtani, Clayton Kershaw, and others. Plus, the pitching usage strategy sure felt a lot like last October’s run to the World Series.

Monday night at Petco Park will bring a rematch of the sport's defending champions and the challenger that came closest to ousting them.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a massive Shohei Ohtani announcement right before the game against the San Diego Padres.
