Forget the David vs. Goliath Storyline. Brewers vs. Dodgers NLCS 'Should Be a Great Series'

The Brewers enter the NLCS with a 6-0 lead over the Dodgers in the regular season series, aiming to extend their postseason success at home.

  • On Oct. 13, the Milwaukee Brewers will host Game 1 of the NLCS at American Family Field in Milwaukee, with a 7:08 p.m. CT first pitch against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
  • After finishing 97-65 and 93-69 respectively, the Brewers won the NL Central and Dodgers the NL West, with Milwaukee sweeping all six regular-season games against Los Angeles.
  • Bullpen metrics show a concern for Los Angeles as the Dodgers bullpen posted a 4.90 ERA in September and allowed eight postseason runs, prompting Roki Sasaki's move to closer.
  • Milwaukee will start Brice Priester in Game 1 and Freddy Peralta in Game 2 unless Jose Quintana returns, with Brandon Woodruff out and saying `We're always the underdogs`.
  • Despite Milwaukee's sweep of the season series, Los Angeles Dodgers are seen as favorites given star power and payroll, with a 2.07 ERA and 4.9 WAR in September per Fangraphs.
