Brewers

Not going to lie, couple this loss with The Rams face plant and Monday night was a drag.

No one will feel any sympathy for the Dodgers, I recognize that. LA’s odds of winning the series is down to 22.5% according to Fangraphs but it feels a lot lower than that. The next couple games are going to be key, as the Brewers are reaching the end of their starting pitching depth. A big part of the Dodgers advantage in this series was going to be the Brewers lack of depth, but LA has hit so poorly that this has yet to become an issue for Milwaukee.

The Dodgers hopes of a third straight World Series appearance are now squarely on the backs of Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow. Best case is that they can leverage that advantage in the next couple games and even up the series.

Fantastic video on the batted-ball controversy in Milwaukee, from which I learned something about spin on batted balls. And make sure you stay for the twist ending. At the end of the day, this is a pretty rare and unfortunate event that couldn’t have happened to a nicer fanbase.
