Overview
- Game 3 is set for Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 8:00 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium, with Blake Snell and Robert Gasser announced as the starting pitchers and Shohei Ohtani confirmed in the Dodgers’ lineup.
- Milwaukee leads the NLCS 2-0 and a Brewers victory in Game 3 would put Los Angeles down 3-0, a deficit that has only been erased once in modern MLB postseason history.
- U.S. broadcast listings conflict across outlets: MLB and several outlets list FS1, FOX One and FOX Deportes while other reports name TBS, truTV and UniMás with HBO Max as a streaming alternative, and viewers are advised to check their local provider.
- Analysts note the contrast between Milwaukee’s roughly $143 million payroll and Los Angeles’s reported $338 million payroll is fueling debate over a proposed salary cap and floor as MLB and the players enter CBA talks that expire in December 2026.
- Beyond the scoreboard, viewers should watch Milwaukee’s pitching depth and the Dodgers’ offensive struggles, with Game 4 slated for Oct. 15 back at Dodger Stadium if the series continues.
