Los Angeles Dodgers received a major boost in which their superstar Shohei Ohtani will get his first start for the club since signing a whopping $700 million contract for the franchise.

Being able to perform in the clutch individually is one thing, but being able to do it as a team is a totally different animal. Here is how the MLB standings would look entering this weekend's slate of games,

The Dodgers are coming off a series win over the Padres and are winners in three of the last four games. The Giants enter off an 8-7 walk-off loss to the Rockies that snapped a seven-game winning streak. This is the first meeting of the season between these two teams.

That happened again for the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar on Saturday night. After reaching the 25-homer mark in L.A.'s weekend win, he's up to 25 HR, 11 steals and five triples on the season. He's the only player in MLB history to have 25-10-5 before July. And now he's done it twice, also in 2023.
