2026 NLCS Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers

The Milwaukee Brewers, who won 103 games in the regular season, face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS after defeating San Diego in the NLDS. This marks the second consecutive year and third meeting in nine years between these division rivals, who split their seven regular-season matchups with Milwaukee winning four games. The Brewers will be without several pitchers including Brandon Woodruff, while the Dodgers are dealing with injuries to Miguel Rojas and multiple relief arms, though Shohei Ohtani remains available as a hitter despite not pitching this season. Milwaukee's balanced offense and strong pitching staff will face a Dodgers team led by their formidable rotation of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tarik Skubal, Blake Snell, and Tyler Glasnow.
