Dodgers Face Elimination as They Aim to Overcome 3-0 Deficit Against Brewers
The Los Angeles Dodgers are in a must-win situation as they prepare to face the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. A loss would mean elimination for the two-time defending World Series champions.
The Brewers are poised to eliminate the Dodgers, who have a challenging task ahead. Historically, only one team has come back from a 3-0 playoff deficit, the 2004 Boston Red Sox, who achieved this against the New York Yankees. Current odds suggest the Dodgers have a 12 percent chance of replicating that feat, according to FanDuel.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who was part of the 2004 Red Sox team, is now in a similar position from the bench. Following a disappointing Game 3, where he faced criticism for his decisions, Roberts remains hopeful about the possibility of a comeback, recalling his own experience from 22 years ago.
