Christian Yelich and the Brewers looking to get past Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers in NLCS sequel
Milwaukee hosts the Los Angeles Dodgers for a rematch of last year's sweep following a franchise-record 103 wins, according to team statistics.
- The National League Championship Series opens Sunday in Milwaukee, featuring Dodgers ace Tarik Skubal against Brewers star Jacob Misiorowski in Game 1 of this playoff rematch.
- Despite a $125.9 million budget, the Brewers achieved a franchise-record 103 wins, opting to retain rookie pitcher Logan Henderson instead of acquiring Skubal from the $323.6 million Dodgers.
- "Regardless of what the economics look like, the guys in there believe, and so do I," Brewers president of baseball operations Matt Arnold said, referencing last year's sweep where Milwaukee managed only one run per game.
- Calling the matchup a "storybook ending," manager Pat Murphy noted the team anticipated facing the dominant Dodgers since spring training began in the regular season.
- Labor uncertainty looms as Major League Baseball's five-year contract expires December 1, with management expected to lock out players in a confrontation that could threaten the 2027 season.
