Dodgers Face Must-Win Game Against Brewers in NLCS

The Los Angeles Dodgers are in a challenging position as they face the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of the NLCS, trailing 2-0 in the series. The game is set to take place at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, starting at 8 p.m. ET.

After a travel day, the Dodgers are looking to turn the series around with Blake Snell starting on the mound. Despite discussions about Shohei Ohtani potentially being removed from the lineup due to his performance, he will play. The Dodgers are favored at -185, with the Over/Under set at 6.5 runs. Historically, teams facing a 2-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series have a low survival rate, with only two out of 38 teams overcoming such a challenge.

Ohtani has struggled significantly, hitting just .197 in his last 35 games and failing to hit a home run since August. The Dodgers' batting has also been underwhelming, particularly with runners in scoring position. Meanwhile, the Brewers have shown strong performance in this area, significantly outpacing the Dodgers. Tonight's matchup will be crucial for the Dodgers as they aim to avoid elimination.
