The Dodgers’ hard-working and multi-talented shortstop is stuck in another postseason slide. He’s just 5 for his past 40 at-bats after their Game 4 loss to the Blue Jays in the World Series.

Currently, Mookie Betts looks lost. Historically impotent. A gaping hole where a legend used to be. A stunning futility that somehow has the mighty Dodgers underwhelming and suddenly on the brink of elimination in the World Series against a Blue Jays team that personifies resilience and talent.

After a quiet World Series, Mookie Betts broke through with a crucial two-out, bases-loaded hit in Game 6, reigniting the Los Angeles Dodgers’ offense and extending their title defense.

Will Smith has moved into the No. 2 slot in the Dodgers' lineup. The catcher had spent the first four games of the series batting fourth. The previous No. 2 hitter, Mookie Betts, has bumped down one spot. He'll bat third.
