Starting pitchers

Brewers: TBD; Dodgers: RHP Tyler Glasnow with a 3.60 ERA in three career elimination games.

Brewers' pitching options

Left-handers Kyle Harrison and Shane Drohan and right-hander Chad Patrick have been on the roster but have yet to pitch in any of the Brewers' first seven games.

Dodgers' pitching strategy

The Dodgers' 7-0 postseason record when Glasnow pitches is more of a quirk than anything else, but he has a 1.73 ERA in four starts and three relief appearances.

Lineups for Game 4

Brewers: Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang, William Contreras, Jake Bauers, Christian Yelich, Garrett Mitchell, Cooper Pratt, Sal Frelick, David Hamilton.

Dodgers' lineup adjustments

The Dodgers are sticking with Shohei Ohtani despite his lingering right biceps and left knee issues that have likely played a role in his extended slump.

Bullpen considerations

Brewers' lefty Aaron Ashby figures to play a prominent role in Game 4 if the score is tight after right-handed setup man Abner Uribe and left-hander DL Hall struggled in Game 3.

Injuries and health

Dodgers: Ohtani (right biceps, left knee), Freeman (right knee) managing lingering injuries; Brewers: none.

The main idea

Dodgers lead NLCS 3-0 but Brewers could become first team swept then to sweep same team a year later.
