The Los Angeles Dodgers have climbed out of some deep holes en route to back-to-back World Series titles, but they face the grandfather of all craters on Thursday night. The Dodgers trail the confident and loose Milwaukee Brewers 0-3 in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series. Only one team in MLB history has overcome such a deficit -- Boston in the 2004 ALCS.
If the two-time defending World Series champions aren't dead, they're certainly on life support. And now the team with the biggest payroll in all of baseball ($339 million) will need a win in Game 4 on Thursday at Dodger Stadium just to stay alive one more day.

According to Tom Verducci of SI.com, Milwaukee is set to start 27-year-old lefty Shane Drohan (7-5, 4.19 ERA) with its first World Series appearance since 1982 on the line. The Dodgers are -154 money line betting favorites over the Brewers (+135) in the latest MLB betting odds.

So far this series, the Brewers have been clutch at the plate with runners in scoring position.
They are 9-of-27 (.333) with RISP, which is even better than their overall batting average of .281. Magliocca notes that Glasnow struggled with command in his NLDS start against the Braves, walking five in 4 2/3 innings. "Milwaukee has been great at making those extra baserunners hurt, and I'd have this at -115 at worst," he told SportsLine.
The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, agrees. It gives the Brewers a 49% chance to win and assigns a 'B' grade to the Milwaukee money line (+132).
