Dodgers-Brewers NLCS: Skubal Trade Fallout and Rotation Depth Decide Series

The National League Championship Series begins Sunday with the Los Angeles Dodgers facing the Milwaukee Brewers in a rematch of the 2025 series. The Dodgers, seeking a third consecutive World Series title, benefit from a dominant rotation anchored by Tarik Skubal, whom they acquired in August. The Brewers, who declined to trade for Skubal to retain rookie Logan Henderson, face a steep pitching challenge. While Milwaukee holds the regular-season lead with 103 wins and a superior run differential, experts and polls favor Los Angeles due to their pitching depth and offensive power, despite concerns over Shohei Ohtani’s recent performance.
