Pat Murphy faces familiar Game 3 starter decision in Brewers' NLCS rematch with Dodgers

The Brewers face a familiar decision with manager Pat Murphy choosing between Dustin May and rookie Robert Gasser for Game 3 of their NLCS rematch against the Dodgers. In the recent NLDS against San Diego, Murphy started May in Game 3 and Gasser in Game 4, with May allowing two runs over three innings and Gasser giving up one run over four innings. May has a 3.20 career ERA at Dodger Stadium with one appearance against Los Angeles this season, while Gasser has faced the Dodgers twice in 2026, posting a strong 2.00 ERA in his August outing at their stadium. Murphy may repeat his NLDS strategy of using the veteran May on the road while giving Gasser a chance to observe before pitching, though both pitchers operated on short leashes previously.
