Key Storylines
NLCS Game 3 — Series Tied 1-1
The National League Championship Series shifts to Milwaukee for a pivotal Game 3 between the Dodgers and Brewers. After splitting the first two games at Dodger Stadium, both teams are hungry to grab control of the series. The Dodgers bounced back in Game 2 with a convincing 6-2 win, powered by home runs from Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman.
Pitching Matchup Takes Center Stage
The Dodgers are expected to send right-hander Bobby Miller to the mound. Miller dominated in the NLDS and looked sharp in his last start, flashing a fastball that touched triple digits. Kicking off for the Brewers is veteran lefty Wade Miley, who has been surprisingly effective this postseason, holding opponents to a .200 batting average.
Brewers Look for a Spark at Home
Milwaukee will rely heavily on their home-field advantage, where they’ve posted a 51-30 record this season. Christian Yelich and Willy Adames struggled at the plate in L.A. and will need to step up to avoid falling behind in the series. The Brewers’ bullpen, featuring the likes of Devin Williams and Joel Payamps, will be leaned on early if Miley runs into trouble.

Player Prop to Watch
Freddie Freeman (Dodgers) – Hits + RBIs + Runs Total: 2.5
Freeman is heating up at the right time, going 3-for-4 with a homer in Game 2. Facing a lefty in Miley might mute his ceiling slightly, but Freeman’s postseason pedigree makes the over a tempting play.
Prediction & Best Bets
Spread: Dodgers -1.5 → With Miller on the mound and their offense gaining rhythm, the Dodgers are in position to grab a road win.
Total: Under 7.5 → Both starters have been solid, and the bullpens are among the best in MLB.
Player Prop: Freddie Freeman Over 2.5 Hits + RBIs + Runs → A high-impact game seems likely for L.A.’s first baseman.
It’s a critical game that could shape the rest of the series. If Miller executes and Freeman continues to hit, the Dodgers should walk away with a narrow but confident win on the road.
Final Score Prediction: Dodgers 4, Brewers 2
