My theme of today's story regarding Game 2 of the NLCS between the Dodgers and Brewers from Milwaukee was going to be that batters on both sides are probably so thrilled to not be facing a dominant former/future Cy Young winner in Tarik Skubal or Jacob Misiorowski, as they did in Game 1. But the pitchers for today are pretty darn good, too, in Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Logan Henderson so I'm not expecting offensive fireworks.

ET first pitch, so the good folks in Beer Town will have to cut out of work early to attend, with FOX having the telecast. The weather looks quite nice, so maybe the roof is open at American Family Field. It was for Game 1 – which the Brewers won 2-1.
At -137 via DraftKings, the Dodgers are taking 89% of handle and 77% of bets. There's a decent lean on Under 6.5. Fans can try MLB betting on the best sports betting apps and get bonuses.

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).
