Shohei Ohtani’s baserunning miscue in the Dodgers’ 5-4 loss to Toronto underscored the risk-reward of his all-systems-done approach. With two outs in the sixth, he took off for third after stealing second, was caught, and Bayes’ last-out-of-the-inning axiom lingered over a tight game. He still powered the Dodgers with a 41st homer that tied for the NL lead, added a single and two walks, and was part of Los Angeles’ persistent threat even as the bullpen faltered late.

Los Angeles stranded 16 baserunners and went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position, a microcosm of the night’s struggles. Blake Treinen allowed the decisive shots in the eighth, surrendering homers to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Addison Barger. Freddie Freeman remained a key source of offense, contributing the long ball and keeping his season counts elite. Manager Dave Roberts voiced frustration with the aggressiveness misfire, a reminder that Ohtani’s dynamic style can swing both ways in fantasy and real life.

The Jays capitalized on the Dodgers’ miscues, pulling away with timely power in the late innings, while Toronto’s lineup showed stay-healthy potency against a volatile late-inning frame. For fantasy managers, Ohtani’s power remains a constant, Freeman’s 41-HR pace is a cornerstone, and the surrounding noise—baserunning risk, bullpen volatility, and RISP struggles—will shape weekly projections and streaming opportunities.
