3 reasons to believe this year's Brewers-Dodgers NLCS matchup will end differently than last year's

The Brewers face the Dodgers in the NLCS for the second consecutive year after defeating the Padres in the NLDS. Last year Milwaukee was swept in four games while scoring just four total runs, but this year their pitching staff is significantly stronger, led by NL Cy Young front-runner Jacob Misiorowski, who had the best single-season performance by a Brewers pitcher in franchise history. The rotation is also deeper than last year, with rookie Logan Henderson, Dustin May, and Robert Gasser providing additional options beyond Misiorowski, along with arms like Shane Drohan and Kyle Harrison available for the series.
