Overview

  • The Dodgers return to Dodger Stadium trailing the Milwaukee Brewers 0-2 in the National League Championship Series and must win Game 3 to avoid going further behind.
  • Los Angeles managed just three hits in Game 2 while the Brewers collected 12, with William Contreras finishing with three hits and three RBIs that helped push Milwaukee to a 2-0 series lead.
  • Resale 'get-in' prices plunged roughly 40% after the two losses, with TicketData and resale sites showing many listings in the mid-$90s and TickPick reporting declines from pre-series levels to as low as $91.
  • Shohei Ohtani has struggled at the plate in the postseason and is dealing with right biceps and left knee issues, prompting manager Dave Roberts to consider lineup changes for the must-win home game.
  • The price drop could boost attendance but also signals diminished confidence from some fans who cited extra costs like $65 parking, and the team’s on-field response in Game 3 will determine immediate revenue and momentum implications.
