Key Storylines
The Dodgers control the series after a 3-1 victory in Game 3, which gave them a 3-0 advantage. There has only been one instance in MLB history of a team coming back from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series and that was over two decades ago. Needless to say, the Brewers are not in a good spot right now.
Los Angeles is turning to Shohei Ohtani to start Game 4 with 12 days of rest since his last pitching appearance. Ohtani has been a mixed bag at the plate this postseason and has posted limited run production but that could change at any time. He also happens to be excellent on the mound.
Milwaukee has generated only 10 hits through three games in this series and has scored one run in each game. Manager Pat Murphy has not publicly announced the Brewers starter, but Jose Quintana is being mentioned as a candidate. Milwaukee needs a miracle at this point and they will try to start that miracle tonight.
Key Players
- Shohei Ohtani: Ohtani is a two-way threat on the mound and in the lineup. He is expected to make an impact in multiple ways in this game.
- Jackson Chourio: Milwaukee’s top young bat left Game 3 with a cramp and is listed as day-to-day. The Brewers need him to have any chance of mounting a comeback.
- Tommy Edman: Edman is Los Angeles’ spark plug and delivered the go-ahead hit in Game 3.
Best Player Props
| Player | Prop | Strikeouts | Total Bases |

Final Thoughts
The Brewers have had an incredible season. But I think that season is about to come to an end on Friday night. The Dodgers have shut down the Milwaukee offense and should be able to slam the door on the series tonight. I’ll lay the runline with LA as they should complete the sweep of Milwaukee and get back to the World Series.
