Early on Tuesday morning, the MLB season will get underway, with the first pitch of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs' contest slated for 6:10 a.m. ET, played thousands of miles away from Los Angeles or Chicago, in Tokyo.
Featuring a matchup between two teams loaded with top Japanese talent -- Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki for the Dodgers, Shota Imanaga and Seiya Suzuki for the Cubs -- the game (as well as the second game of the series Wednesday) will be the 43rd and 44th MLB contests played internationally, with destinations ranging from Australia to Puerto Rico.
