Major League Baseball returns to the Tokyo Dome for the first time since 2019 with the two-game series Tuesday and Wednesday. The anticipated matchup between the Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers will feature plenty of fanfare in Japan, where baseball is a lifeblood. The games will be played in front of expected sellouts of more than 50,000 with Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani leading off in Tuesday’s season opener against Shota Imanaga.
