Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers will be featured prominently on ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" broadcasts in 2024. The defending World Series champions will appear in four of the first 10 games, including a March 27 appearance on the sport's main opening day.
ESPN announced the schedule on Wednesday, which includes the Dodgers' Sunday night games against the Chicago Cubs (April 13), Atlanta Braves (May 4), New York Mets (May 25), and New York Yankees (June 1).
The Dodgers appeared in the maximum five Sunday night games last year, as did the Yankees, Braves, and Boston Red Sox.
Los Angeles opens the season on March 18 and 19 against the Chicago Cubs in Tokyo, and most other teams start play on March 27. ESPN's doubleheader that day features exclusive coverage of the Yankees hosting Milwaukee and the Dodgers at home against Detroit. The March 27 appearances don't count against each team's five-game ESPN limit.

Ugh, not another year of the Dodgers force-fed down our throats. 🥱
