The stage is set for this year’s National League championship series, and it’s only fitting that the league’s two best teams will be facing off with a World Series bid on the line. The Dodgers and Brewers both took care of business in the division series, with each team winning their matchups in four games. They were the only two teams in MLB that won 100 or more games, and they’ll be matched up in a best-of-seven NLCS showdown, which will get underway Monday from American Family Field in Milwaukee.
Los Angeles looked comfortable against the Braves in the NLDS, leaning largely on their dominant pitching to silence Atlanta’s lineup. Throughout the four-game series, the Dodgers held the Braves to eight total runs, including two contests in which they surrendered just one run.
