A Look at Today’s Top Games
Baseball’s main attraction features Shohei Ohtani leading the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. Scheduled to start at 8:38 p.m. ET from Dodger Stadium, Ohtani is not just a pitcher; he also poses a serious threat at the plate as the Dodgers aim to avoid elimination. This pivotal matchup will determine if the Dodgers can secure a back-to-back World Series title, an achievement last seen when the New York Yankees triumphed from 1998 to 2000.
The Dodgers, having a 3-0 series lead after a decisive 3-1 win in Game 3, will be hopeful as right-hander Tyler Glasnow struck out eight in a recent appearance. Meanwhile, Caleb Durbin, the Brewers outfielder, expressed the team’s need to step up their game with a collective effort to break their scoring drought.
Caleb Durbin: “Against these guys, it’s going to take more than what we’ve shown so far. Whether that’s just digging deeper, making an adjustment, we have to be better.”
Currently, Los Angeles holds a -200 odds as the favorite, contrasting with the Brewers’ +170, while the over/under for this matchup is set at 7.5 runs.
