The Dodgers plan to start Shohei Ohtani in Game 7, The Post’s Joel Sherman reported, a move that preserves the DH and avoids losing it if he entered in relief. Ohtani would go on three days’ rest—and three days after receiving IVs following his historic Game 3—so he may function more as an opener than a traditional starter. If he takes the ball, he’ll face Toronto’s Max Scherzer in a showdown of future Hall of Famers.
