The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Mets by a score of ten to two in game four of the National League Championship Series on Thursday.
With the win, the Dodgers are now one win away from winning the series and advancing to the World Series.
Shohei Ohtani homered in his second straight game as he hit a solo home run to lead off the game in game four.
Major League Baseball legend Alex Rodriguez had a powerful statement regarding how good Ohtani is.
“Watching him as much as we have, I think this player is underrated, that’s how good he is,” Rodriguez said.

Ohtani has found his power stroke over the last two games of the NLCS as he now has two home runs in the series while he only had one in the National League Division Series.
Rodriguez was admiring how Ohtani was able to get down to the low pitch with how tall he is at six foot four inches.
The Dodgers offense is rolling over the last two games as they have scored 18 total runs and won both games by exactly eight runs.
Ohtani leads the way of this Dodgers offense as he bats leadoff.
Not only does Ohtani hit home runs, but he gets on base ahead of other star players in the lineup like Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman.
In the last 2 games alone, Ohtani has walked four times to go along with his two home runs.
The Dodgers will look to keep their offense rolling in game five on Friday as they will try to end the series and advance to the World Series.
