Milwaukee took Game 2 by a score of 7-4 and now sits two wins from the World Series heading into Wednesday's Game 3.
The Dodgers are suddenly the underdogs in October. Los Angeles heads into Game 3 of the NLCS down 2-0 after Milwaukee's 7-4 win in Game 2, putting the two-time defending World Series champions in a hole they need to climb out of fast.
The series now moves to Los Angeles, where the Dodgers will try to get back into things before the Brewers get a chance to push them to the brink of elimination. Game 3 is set for Wednesday, October 14, at 8 p.m. ET on FS1.
The issue for Los Angeles has been offense. Despite a lineup built around Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, the Dodgers have struggled to consistently produce runs this postseason, a problem that has only grown more glaring with the season now on the line.
Milwaukee, meanwhile, is two wins from its first World Series berth in this run and has the Brewers listed among the favorites to win it all. Los Angeles, long the team to beat, now finds itself without that distinction for the first time all season as it tries to extend its championship window against a Milwaukee club playing with house money.
