MLB's best players, Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge, have been mired in 2024 postseason slumps. Judge, though, broke out of his slump with a home run in the New York Yankees' 6-3 Game 2 victory over the Cleveland Guardians in the American League Championship Series. So will Ohtani end his slump soon?

The Dodgers aren’t changing anything with Shohei Ohtani. The NL MVP frontrunner has produced some curious numbers this postseason — going 6-for-8 with runners on base and 0-for-19 with the bases empty — as the Dodgers head into Game 3 of an NLCS that is even at one game apiece with the Mets.

Ohtani said he feels “okay” at the plate, but he has gone just 6 for 27 (.222) with 12 strikeouts, including 2 for 7 in the first two games of the NLCS against the Mets.
