The National League Championship Series kicks-off tonight with the Los Angeles Dodgers taking on the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 1 tonight. The game is available on FOX and starts at 8PM Eastern. Both teams won 100 or more games during the 2026 regular season with Milwaukee leading all of MLB with 103 wins. The Dodgers disposed of the Atlanta Braves (again) in the NLDS while the Brewers made light work of the San Diego Padres.
There are some notable former Braves playing in this series, headlined by Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman and Brewers catcher William Contreras.
Chances are this chat might be a pro-Brew Crew bunch given the less-than-warm-and-fuzzy feelings most Braves fans have toward the Dodgers.
The starting line-ups for both teams are below.
See you in the comments or in the chat of the SB Nation app (which you should download, if you haven’t already).
