The Los Angeles Dodgers are facing the Milwaukee Brewers in a rematch of the 2025 NLCS, hoping to keep their recent success rolling.
The Dodgers are coming off back-to-back series wins against the Los Angeles Angels and San Diego Padres, with the offense starting to break out of its slump and the pitching staff continuing to dominate.

For the first time in more than a week, the Dodgers had an off-day on Thursday, giving the team a chance to reset, find their footing again, and march forward.
Unfortunately, they are still on a road trip, which means the off day was mostly spent traveling to Milwaukee, but they can still settle in rather than have such a sporadic schedule.

The Dodgers will field a lineup with three red-hot hitters in Ohtani, Freeman, and Hernandez, all of whom have been great over the last two series.
If they can keep hitting, the team will be in great shape, given how the pitching staff is going about their business.
The Bewers will be rolling out a right-handed pitcher, which will give Kyle Tucker a matchup that he can potentially take advantage of, along with Max Muncy and Hyeseong Kim, who have scuffled over the same amount of time as the other three have gotten rolling.
Additionally, Mookie Betts will be hoping to get himself on the right track offensively, with two full series under his belt since coming off the injured list.
Who is pitching for the Dodgers?
SP: Justin Wrobleski, LHP

Mandatory Credit: Jonathan Hui-Imagn ImagesWrobleski has been great at going deep into games and limiting runs, the two main jobs of a starting pitcher.
However, his strikeout numbers are concerning and indicate that it is only a matter of time before all the contact he allows turns into hits.
The Brewers are a patient team that turns contact into hits, making this a tricky game for Wrobleski.
