Snell had been dominant for the Dodgers in the postseason leading up to the World Series, throwing 21 innings and allowing just two runs in the process.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will consider using Shohei Ohtani as an opener or even as an outfielder in Game 7 if Los Angeles forces the World Series against Toronto to the limit.

Ohtani has put up a team-high 55 home runs and 102 runs batted in.
