Overview
- The NLCS opens Sunday night in Milwaukee with Game 1 at 8 p.m. ET on FOX and Jacob Misiorowski starting for the Brewers against Tarik Skubal for the Dodgers.
- Los Angeles expects veteran infielder Miguel Rojas to be available pending a pregame workout while shortstop Hyeseong Kim was left off the NLCS roster.
- Milwaukee earned home-field advantage after a 103-win regular season and will face a Dodgers team that won 100 games and is seeking a third straight title.
- Misiorowski has been widely forecast as the NL Cy Young front-runner and the series narrative centers on starting pitching depth, with the Dodgers relying on recent trade pickup Tarik Skubal and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
- All NLCS games will air on Fox or FS1 with streaming on services such as DIRECTV and Fubo, and managers’ rotation and bullpen choices after the Division Series are expected to shape each matchup.
