Overview
- Game 1 is being played in Milwaukee on Sunday and matches Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski against Dodgers lefty Tarik Skubal in a starting pitching matchup that frames the series.
- Milwaukee finished the regular season 103‑59 and Los Angeles went 100‑62, making this a rare League Championship pairing of two 100‑win teams.
- Both clubs submitted 26‑man NLCS rosters today with the Brewers keeping the same group that advanced from the Division Series and the Dodgers adding left‑hander Justin Wrobleski while leaving Hyeseong Kim off the roster.
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said veteran utility infielder Miguel Rojas appears likely to be available after back workouts, giving Los Angeles an experienced late‑inning matchup option.
- The series is a direct rematch of last year’s NLCS, carries the prize of a World Series berth, and will be broadcast nationally on Fox and FS1 with managers expected to lean heavily on their starting rotations and bullpen depth.
