At the start of this week, it looked like this weekend’s NLCS rematch between the Brewers and Dodgers would be a matchup of teams off to hot starts to the new season.
Both teams started the year 8-2, but then everything seemed to go wrong for the Brewers in Anaheim, and the Dodgers got swept in 4 games in St. Louis. Now both teams are looking to break out of their first funk of 2019.
Not so coincidentally, both have struggled with pitching in the first part of April, but have been carried by lineups that have been keeping them in every game.
