Christian Yelich and the Brewers Looking to Get Past Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers in NLCS Sequel
The Brewers seek revenge after last year’s sweep, while Milwaukee’s 103 wins and Jacob Misiorowski’s Game 1 start set up a pitching-heavy rematch.
- On Sunday, the Milwaukee Brewers host the Los Angeles Dodgers for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, featuring a pitchers' duel between Jacob Misiorowski and Tarik Skubal in a rematch of last year's postseason series.
- Following a franchise-record 103 regular-season wins, the Brewers seek redemption after being swept by the Dodgers last year. Los Angeles enters with a $323.6 million opening-day payroll, second only to the New York Mets, while Milwaukee's $125.9 million ranked 20th.
- Milwaukee president of baseball operations Matt Arnold opted to keep rookie Logan Henderson rather than trade for Skubal, who joined the Dodgers. Henderson posted a 2.47 earned-run average in 18 games this season, outperforming Skubal's 2.72.
- Brewers manager Pat Murphy described the series as a "storybook ending" for his club, which was swept last year. Los Angeles president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said he expects "chaos" during the rematch.
- Beyond the field, this series reflects broader labor tensions as MLB's five-year collective bargaining contract expires December 1. League management is expected to lock out players, potentially affecting the 2027 season.
