The Los Angeles Dodgers prepare to face the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 1 of the NLCS on October 12, 2026. The Brewers secured their spot after defeating their previous opponent, setting up a rematch of last year's series where the Dodgers achieved a sweep. Milwaukee's roster has evolved with key players showing significant improvement this season, while the Dodgers focus on integrating Shohei Ohtani, who shifted to a hitting role due to injuries. The Dodgers seek to improve their offensive consistency after a shaky performance against the Braves in the NLDS, where they scored their first non-homer run only in the second inning of Game 4.
