The Dodgers kicked off their 2025 season in style, sweeping the Cubs in Tokyo and showcasing some incredible talent. Shohei Ohtani delivered a memorable performance with a towering home run, while Roki Sasaki made his MLB debut, leaving fans buzzing despite some command issues. With the Dodgers now 2-0, the excitement is palpable, but it raises some intriguing questions.

First off, how do you think Ohtani's presence will impact the Dodgers this season? Can he maintain this level of performance, or will the pressure of expectations weigh him down?

And what about Roki Sasaki? His debut was a mixed bag, but he showed flashes of brilliance. Do you believe he can develop into a key player for the Dodgers, or will his struggles with command hold him back?

Freddie Freeman's injury is another concern. With him sidelined, how do you see the Dodgers adjusting their lineup? Will this be an opportunity for someone like James Outman to step up and make a name for himself?

Lastly, with the Dodgers heading back to L.A. for the Freeway Series against the Angels, what are your predictions for the upcoming games? Will they continue their winning streak, or could they face a setback?

Let’s dive into these topics and more! What are your thoughts on the Dodgers' start to the season, and what bold predictions do you have for the rest of 2025?
