Once again, the Milwaukee Brewers find themselves on the brink of elimination in the postseason. The Los Angeles Dodgers are ahead 3-0 in this NLCS series, with Game 4 set to take place tonight.
The Dodgers are poised to achieve a remarkable feat: becoming the first franchise in over two decades to win back-to-back World Series since the Yankees did it in the late 90s. They’re just one victory away from making their second consecutive World Series appearance.
For the Brewers, winning tonight is essential to extending their season and pushing for a Game 5. It’s a daunting challenge, as they would need to win four consecutive games to reach the World Series—a feat only accomplished once in MLB history by the Boston Red Sox in 2004 against the Yankees.
In last night’s game, the Dodgers secured a 3-1 victory, largely due to a bullpen that allowed no runs and just a single hit after Tyler Glasnow pitched 5.2 innings.
If the Brewers manage to win tonight, Game 5 is scheduled for tomorrow, October 18th, at 8 PM ET.
