Players To Watch
Brewers
Jonathan Schoop- With Travis Shaw hitting .209 against lefties and the Dodgers starting rotation having three, Schoop will get a lot more opportunities and he’ll take advantage of them.
Erik Kratz- Good Ol’ Erik Kratz was raking in the NLDS batting .625. Hopefully he keeps it up.
Lorenzo Cain- Had a rough NLDS, but with LoCain hitting .373 against lefties, he’ll make fans forget about the last series
Wade Miley- In game three, Miley neutralized the Rockies giving up three hits in four and two-thirds innings. With the NLCS being a best of seven series, there’s a good chance he’ll go deeper into the game to not put as much of a workload on the bullpen.
Dodgers
Justin Turner– Batted .357 in the NLDS with a .929 OPS. Dangerous hitter that Brewers pitchers don’t want to make a mistake against
Yasiel Puig– Confident in his playoff predictions and confident in his play. He batted .333 in the NLDS and can make a big impact on both sides of the field.
Max Muncy- Lefty with a lot of pop and could have a huge NLCS. Muncy had two homers in the series vs the Braves with four RBI’s.
Clayton Kershaw- The starter for game one is a different animal when he’s in the playoffs. The Brewer’s did beat him in the regular season, but this isn’t the same Clayton Kershaw.
