The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers play Game 3 of the NLCS this afternoon at Dodger Stadium in L.A.
After taking the first two games on the road, Los Angeles now leads 2–0 and looks to push Milwaukee to the brink of elimination. The Brewers, meanwhile, face a must-win situation after being outscored 7–2 in the opening games at American Family Field.
Today, Los Angeles turns to Tyler Glasnow, who threw six scoreless innings in his last postseason outing against the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLDS. Glasnow has been sharp in October, pairing his high-velocity fastball with a biting slider — a combination that has been unhittable this month.
Aaron Ashby gets the start for the Brewers for the second time this series as the opener. He performed ably in that role, pitching a scoreless inning in Game 1 before Quinn Priester followed him with four scoreless innings of his own. But Milwaukee would go on to lose the game 2-1.
This time around, José Quintana is expected to follow in a bulk-innings role. Quintana finished the regular season with a 11-7 record and a 3.96 ERA over 24 starts. He made his first appearance since Sept 14 in the NLDS against the Chicago Cubs, pitching a scoreless three innings in relief.
Milwaukee will look for a similar outing from Quintana when he comes in today. But the Brewers’ offense will have to do much better. They’ve managed just two runs across the first two games. For Milwaukee to keep their World Series hopes alive, their bats will have to wake up from slumber.
Prediction
Glasnow’s dominance and the Dodgers’ deep lineup should keep momentum firmly in L.A.’s favor. Milwaukee’s opener approach may hold early, but their bats likely won’t do enough to extend the series.
Prediction: Dodgers 4, Brewers 2
