The Milwaukee Brewers are putting on a clinic right now.There are a few things that are very impressive about the Brewers in this series.
The first thing that I like is that they are winning in a multitude of ways.Game 1 saw them hit a game-tying homer, then they drew a walk, bunted their runner to second, and then hit a single to take the lead.

He allowed a solo homer, and the Brewers won the game 3-1 over the Padres.This could be a good game for the Dodgers as they faced Gasser twice this season and won both games.

There have only been six teams to ever do it, but three of them have done so in the past six seasons.The Dodgers aren't playing bad baseball.
In Game 1, they might've been the better offense, but they couldn't get the hit when they needed it.Game 2 was mostly the fault of their bullpen.
However, it isn't a good sign for them that they lost games with both Tarik Skubal and Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound.Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Bl...
