You could not find two more opposite teams to play each other for the National League pennant if you tried.
The Milwaukee Brewers come from the smallest market in baseball with a payroll hovering just over $100 million. The Los Angeles Dodgers come from one of the largest markets in the country with a payroll of $194 million. Over the past several years their payroll has been well north of $200 million but dropped down this year to reset their luxury tax.
This is the Dodgers fourth NLCS in the last six years. This is the Brewers third LCS in franchise history and first postseason appearance in seven years.
