The Brewers and Dodgers will meet again in the National League Championship Series, marking a rematch of last year's NLCS when the Dodgers swept in four games. This year's matchup carries different stakes: both teams finished with at least 100 wins and were described as the only two teams to do so, setting up what observers have called an inevitable collision between the two best teams in MLB.
Milwaukee is seeking its first World Series appearance since 1983. One outlet notes that the Brewers have acquired a pitcher in Cy Young form heading into the series, though details on that addition were not available. The Dodgers, as two-time defending champions, enter as the favorites.
