The National League Championship Series kicks off Sunday, October 11, at 5 p.m. Pacific Time, with the Milwaukee Brewers hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers at American Family Field for Game 1. This isn’t just any series opener either, it’s a heavyweight battle pitting Brewers phenom Jacob Misiorowski against the Dodgers’ ace, two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal.
Brewers Out For Payback After Last Year’s Nightmare
Remember last year’s NLCS? Yeah, the one where the Brewers, as the NL’s top seed, suffered an absolutely embarrassing sweep? Ouch. Well, this isn’t that team. Not even close. These Brewers just put up a ridiculous 103 wins and they are looking to rewrite history, trying to get to the World Series for only the second time ever. Talk about high stakes for Game 1, right? This is a squad that’s primed, and they’ve got every reason to come out swinging against the Dodgers after how last year ended.
Pitching Duel Everyone’s Talking About
And what a pitching duel we’ve got brewing! On the mound for the Brewers, it’s their phenom, Jacob Misiorowski. But across from him? The Dodgers are rolling out their deadline acquisition, Tarik Skubal, who just happened to win back-to-back Cy Young awards. Seriously? This guy is unreal, and everyone knows he’s expected to command a record-breaking free agent contract this winter. He’s got something to prove, and the Brewers want to make a statement against him. This is must-watch stuff.
