Overview
- Major League Baseball has scheduled the best-of-seven National League Championship Series to start Sunday, Oct. 11, with Games 1 and 2 at American Family Field in Milwaukee and Games 3–5 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
- The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched their NLCS berth by eliminating the Atlanta Braves on Oct. 7 when Andy Pages hit a two-run single in the seventh inning and Max Muncy added an insurance home run in the ninth.
- The Milwaukee Brewers reached the NLCS by defeating the San Diego Padres in four games in the NL Division Series, giving manager Pat Murphy’s club home-field for the opening games.
- Exact start times for NLCS games have not been released by MLB and could be announced closer to each date, while tickets for potential Dodgers home games are already on sale with reported prices starting around $163.
- The series pairs a Dodgers team coming off back-to-back World Series appearances with a Brewers club that finished the regular season with one of baseball’s top records, a matchup that will test LA’s title defense and Milwaukee’s regular-season form.
