Background
Los Angeles finished the regular season with 100 wins and swept the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS. For the NLCS, they expanded their pitching staff from 12 to 13 arms, adding former All‑Star Justin Wrobleski, who posted a 3.66 ERA over 140 innings during the season but struggled later with home runs and a brief IL stint.
The Brewers entered the series with a 103‑win season and unchanged NLDS roster. Both teams have rested bullpens after three days off, setting up a seven‑game series that could hinge on pitching depth and key players like Shohei Ohtani, whose health has been limited.
