<p>Shohei Ohtani&#8217;s flight to Toronto was long, but 140 days after he &#8220;took off&#8221; from Orange County, he&#8217;s arrived.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The only problem? He&#8217;s wearing a different shade of blue than the Jays&#8217; colour.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been an arduous road for Blue Jays fans since they were in the mix for the superstar this past offseason, and it&#8217;s hard to imagine this weekend will bring any closure. Ohtani&#8217;s been off to an excellent start to the season, slashing .358/.419/.670 for a 1.089 OPS, while his 14 doubles lead the major leagues. All the while, his AB per HR rate is down at 18.2 from his career average of 14.6.</p>
<p>The Jays will face off against a potent L.A. Dodgers offence, with depth throughout their lineup and a strong pitching staff to back it. While Gavin Stone takes the mound for the Dodgers tonight with Chris Bassitt getting the bump for the Jays, it will be the red-hot Tyler Glasnow on Saturday — someone the Jays were undoubtedly happy was leaving the AL East — squaring off against Yusei Kikuchi. Sunday&#8217;s game is for Kevin Gausman, while it&#8217;s unknown who L.A. will have on the mound.</p>
