The Milwaukee Brewers, holders of baseball’s best record, arrive at Dodger Stadium for a significant four-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This matchup carries extra significance as it marks the first visit to the venue since the Brewers’ playoff loss to the Dodgers in last year’s National League Championship Series. Both teams enter the series with strong records, setting the stage for what analysts view as a crucial test of their respective capabilities.
Thursday night’s opening contest features Rōki Sasaki on the mound for the Dodgers facing off against the Brewers’ Shane Drohan. Sasaki has been particularly impressive in recent outings, allowing just five earned runs across his last four starts while recording 26 strikeouts. However, the Dodgers will operate without Mookie Betts, who receives a scheduled rest day. The Brewers similarly face roster challenges with top position player Brice Turang sidelined by right knee pain.
The Dodgers arrive at the series following momentum from a sweep of the Kansas City Royals, while Milwaukee was recently swept by the San Diego Padres. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. Pacific Time at Dodger Stadium, with broadcast coverage available on SportsNet LA and radio options in both English and Spanish.
