Game 4 Preview: Dodgers vs. Brewers
With the Dodgers seeking their fifth NL title in nine years, they aim to replicate their previous World Series success by becoming the first team in 25 years to win back-to-back championships. The Brewers, champions of the NL Central, are striving to avoid elimination after a disappointing playoff run. They have not advanced to the World Series since 1982.
Starting Pitchers

Ohtani has had an up-and-down performance at the plate, but Dodgers infielder Max Muncy expressed high hopes for his pitching. Muncy stated, “I’m expecting nothing short of incredible,” indicating confidence in Ohtani’s capabilities.
Recent Performance and Key Players
The Dodgers’ rotation has made history, allowing only three runs across the first three games of this best-of-seven series. In Game 4, Ohtani aims to guide the team to victory while contributing offensively. During these playoffs, he has already made his mark with a solo home run in Game 4’s first inning, setting the tone for the Dodgers’ offense.
Key players like Mookie Betts and Will Smith have helped build early game momentum. Enrique Hernandez emphasized the “must-win” mentality embraced by the team. “We’re treating it like any other day in October,” he said, underlining the collective determination of the players.
