The National League’s two best teams meet again Sunday night as the Brewers host the Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLCS. Milwaukee earned the league’s top seed and eliminated San Diego in four games, while Los Angeles advanced by dispatching Atlanta and now sits four wins away from a third straight World Series appearance.

The matchup is a rematch of last year’s NLCS, which the Dodgers swept while holding Milwaukee to just four total runs. This Brewers club, however, is deeper and more experienced, winning 103 games and taking four of seven regular-season meetings from Los Angeles. Expect a series defined by pitching, timely power and whether Milwaukee’s young core can finally solve the Dodgers in October.

Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers: Ohtani had a relatively quiet NLDS by his standards, but his bat remains the biggest variable in the series. If he finds his rhythm, Los Angeles becomes even more dangerous.

Jackson Chourio, Brewers: The 23-year-old outfielder continued his rise in the NLDS and has already become Milwaukee’s franchise leader in postseason home runs and RBIs. His production was a key reason the Brewers knocked off San Diego.

You can stream this MLB Playoff game tonight by using the five-day free trial offered by DIRECTV. Other trials are available with fuboTV or Hulu + Live TV.
