LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani got what he came for when he decided to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers: a trip to the World Series. Ohtani hit .364 with two homers, six RBIs, nine walks and a 1.184 OPS in the six-game NL Championship Series win over the New York Mets. He's batting .286 with three homers and 10 RBIs over 11 games in his first postseason heading into the World Series starting Friday against the New York Yankees. When he signed his record $700 million, 10-year contract last winter, he agreed to defer $68 million annually to give the team payroll flexibility.
