I was thinking today's story on Game 2 of the NLCS between the Dodgers and Brewers in Milwaukee was going to be about how the hitters on both sides are probably thrilled to not have to face former/future Cy Young winners in Tarik Skubal or Jacob Misiorowski, as they did in Game 1. Then I realized the pitchers for today's Game 2 are pretty good, too, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Dodgers facing off against Milwaukee's Logan Henderson, so I'm not expecting many offensive explosions.

ET first pitch, so the good folks in Brewtown might have to cut out of work early, and FOX has the telecast. The weather looks comfortable, so the roof could be open at American Family Field. It was for Game 1 – which the Brewers won 2-1.

DraftKings SGP price: +144 (subject to change) Be aware that these teams don't play, Tuesday, which means both bullpens likely are used quite liberally if necessary. The Dodgers were -160 on the series line entering Game 1 with the Brewers at +130, and now it's Milwaukee -130 and Dodgers +110.
The Brewers had lost seven straight playoff games to L.A. before squeaking it out Sunday despite only 4.1 innings from the Miz. This marks only the eighth time the teams with the two best records in MLB meet in the postseason since it was first expanded in 1995. The last time it happened was five years ago when the 107-victory Giants faced the 106-win Dodgers in the NLDS.
I almost feel sorry for the Brewers having to face Skubal and now Yamamoto, who is establishing himself as a postseason legend. The 28-year-old reigning World Series MVP was 14-9 with a 2.53 ERA during the 2026 regular season and improved to 8-1 with a 2.14 ERA in 11 career playoff appearances. That's after dominating the Braves in Atlanta in Game 3 of the NLDS with one run and four hits allowed over seven and 10 strikeouts (tying his postseason high).
