Shohei Ohtani is struggling at the plate, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are feeling it in the postseason. He went 2 for 13 with a .154 average in the National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves. Manager Dave Roberts has stuck by the two-way superstar, believing Ohtani's bat will break out eventually. Some of his slump is due to injuries that limited Ohtani to 139 games in the regular season. He admits he's not 100% healthy and plans to dig into his biceps and knee issues in the offseason. The Dodgers open the NL Championship Series on Sunday at Milwaukee. Last year, Ohtani was MVP of the NLCS, when the Dodgers swept the Brewers in four games on their way to a second straight World Series title.
