Make California Post a Preferred Source The California Post’s experts make their predictions on the Dodgers-Brewers NLCS matchup, scheduled to begin Sunday:
Even if the Dodgers and Brewers played a million times, it still would come down to pitching in the final game.
Some players just know how to perform in the biggest moments. The Dodgers have far more of them than any other team in baseball, and that will carry them to the World Series.
We’ve seen this movie before. The Dodgers’ pitching is too good. The Brewers’ offense, while a nuisance, lacks enough star-power bats. Maybe Jacob Misiorowski, or Milwaukee’s admittedly dominant bullpen, can steal a game this time. But over a best-of-seven series, the Dodgers boast too much talent.
The Brewers were built for the regular season, and Dodgers will win the big moments.
Los Angeles proved against the Braves that its starting pitching staff is just too good to lose this series to the Brewers, and with Edwin Diaz showing he’s capable of closing out games again, the NLCS shouldn’t go past five.Dodgers in 5
Dodgers rotation continues to dominate opposing lineups. Milwaukee will make it a series, but LA can taste its historic moment.
