NLCS Showdown: Can the Dodgers Clinch Victory Tonight Against the Brewers?

The Los Angeles Dodgers are cruising with a solid 3-0 advantage over the Milwaukee Brewers as they gear up for Game 4 of the NLCS tonight. On paper, it looks like the Dodgers are just a few wins away from hoisting the trophy. But hold on a sec—Brewers fans, don’t lose heart just yet. Remember the iconic 2004 ALCS when the Red Sox pulled off a jaw-dropping comeback from a 0-3 deficit against the Yankees? They didn’t just claw back; they swept the remaining four games and went on to claim the championship, shattering the infamous Curse of the Bambino. So why can’t the Brewers break their own version of that jinx, whimsically dubbed the “Brewbino”? The drama is far from over. The stakes? The victor of this showdown will face the winner of the ALCS clash between the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners in the World Series, set to tip off on Friday, October 24. Every game of the Brewers vs. Dodgers NLCS, including Game 3, is broadcast on TBS and truTV, with streaming available on HBO Max. If you’re looking to catch all the action, here’s the lowdown on how to tune in and watch. LEARN MORE

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a commanding 3-0 lead over the Milwaukee Brewers as they head into Game 4 of the NLCS tonight. While it appears that the Dodgers may be poised to win the whole thing, I’d like to remind Brewers fans of the Red Sox’ come-from-behind win at the 2004 ALCS where they were also down 0-3 and came back to not just defeat the Yankees over the next four games, but win the whole championship. If the Curse of the Bambino can be broken, so too can the Curse of the, uh, Brewbino.

The winner of this series will face the winner of the ALCS between the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners at the World Series, which is scheduled to begin Friday, Oct. 24.
