In brief

Brewers spent after NLDS

Brewers say they were emotionally and physically drained after tense NL Division Series against Cubs.

“we’ve been through this a few times, and the more you’re under this kind of stress, the more you get comfortable in this environment”

Jacob Misiorowski primed for Game 1

Misiorowski will start Game 1 after resting from NLDS, with Logan Henderson as Game 2 starter.

“we’re ready to go”

Yelich's strong postseason form

Yelich's strong postseason form

Yelich has .900 ops in NLDS against Padres, his best postseason series performance.

“i’m really just focusing on putting together a good at-bat and passing it to the next guy”

Fully stocked bullpen

Brewers have DL Hall, Chad Patrick, JoJo Romero, and Antonio Senzatela ready for NLCS.

“we’ve got an arm for each side, the secondaries are elite”

No Shohei Ohtani on mound

Ohtani is a hitter this year, not a pitcher, after struggling in NLDS.

“it's good to know that we can still win games without him doing a whole bunch”

NLCS Game 1 details

NLCS Game 1: Sunday, 8 p.m. ET, 7 CT, 5 PT on FOX/FOX Deportes/FOX One.

Brewers' pitching strategy

Brewers use lefty relievers and have three days rest for bullpen arms before NLCS.

“we’ve been doing this since the last three weeks of the season”

Yelich's postseason RBI streak

Yelich scored first postseason RBI since 2018 nlcs game 7, then went 19 games without driving in a run.

Brewers' bullpen depth

Brewers have DL Hall, Chad Patrick, JoJo Romero, and Antonio Senzatela with strong postseason performances.

The key point

Brewers enter NLCS with rested pitching, Yelich's strong postseason performance, and no Shohei Ohtani as a pitcher.
