Brewers and Dodgers prepare for series opener with key pitchers

The Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers open a four-game series on August 13 at Dodger Stadium. Milwaukee's Shane Drohan is set to face Los Angeles' Roki Sasaki in the first matchup. Both teams are struggling; the Brewers were recently swept by the Padres, while the Dodgers had dropped seven of eight. Notable pitching matchups include Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski on August 15 and Dodgers' Tarik Skubal on August 16. Both sides have shown inconsistencies at the mound, with the Dodgers acquiring Skubal at the trade deadline, raising some criticism about Milwaukee's lack of action.
