The Dodgers won the World Series last year, beating the New York Yankees in five games. Much of their regular-season success was thanks to the play of Ohtani, who slashed .310/.390/.646 with 54 home runs, 130 RBI and 59 stolen bases en route to being named National League MVP.

Harper also made his MLB debut at Dodger Stadium, going 1-for-3 with a double. He just began his seventh season with the Phillies, who entered Friday with a 5-1 record before handing the Dodgers their first loss of the season in a 3-2 victory.

The Dodgers' high-spending offseason has drawn complaints from many about the lack of parity in baseball, but Phillies star Bryce Harper isn't buying it.
