After compiling the majors’ best record, the Milwaukee Brewers appeared capable of beating anybody — until they ran into Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers in October.

Dodgers fans throughout Los Angeles celebrated the team's second consecutive World Series appearance after sweeping the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series on Friday night.

During the Los Angeles Dodgers’ October rampage to the NL pennant, the defending World Series champions have actually been the dark eminence that many baseball people have long feared they would become.

The Dodgers have won eight World Series titles in franchise history: 1955, 1959, 1963, 1965, 1981, 1988, 2020 and 2024. Manager Dave Roberts has overseen the club's last two championships and this marks his fifth appearance in the World Series as Los Angeles skipper.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to finish a clean sweep against the Milwaukee Brewers with game 4 of the NLCS on Friday night in Los Angeles. The Dodgers were able to advance their lead Thursday night with a 3-1 win. The defending champions are now just one win away from returning to the World Series.

Tommy Edman hit a tiebreaking single off hard-throwing rookie Jacob Misiorowski in a two-run sixth inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1 to take a 3-0 lead in their NL Championship Series.

If the Milwaukee Brewers make it to the World Series this year, it would be their first appearance at the Fall Classic since 1982 (where they lost to the St. Louis Cardinals). They're going to have to come roaring back if they want to make it to the championship series in 2025 now that the Los Angeles Dodgers are up 2-0 in the NLCS against the Brewers,
