The Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers square off in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series at American Family Field with first pitch scheduled for 5 p.m. Pacific Time on Sunday, Oct. 11

Brewers phenom Jacob Misiorowski starts against back-to-back Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, who the Dodgers acquired at the trade deadline and is expected command a record-breaking free agent contract this winter.

It's a rematch of last year's NLCS, in which the Brewers suffered an embarrassing sweep as the NL's top seed. But this Brewers team won 103 games and is primed to reach the World Series for just the second time in franchise history.

Sunday's game will air on Fox and can be streamed with Fubo.

Alex Anthopoulos provides update on starting pitchers, coaching staff heading into 2027

Atlanta Braves President of Baseball Operations, Alex Anthopoulos, met with the media earlier today and addressed a handful of issues ahead of the 2027 season.

Among the topics Anthopoulos discussed were that the team plans to give 21-year-old pitcher Didier Fuentes a chance at being in the team’s rotation in 2027, although he may be subjected to an innings limit which could also impact his role as the season progress – assuming, of course, that there is a full 2027 campaign due to the pending lock-out by the owners. Fuentes tossed 97.0 innings between his work with Atlanta and Gwinnett in 2026, when including the post-season.

Any possible 2027 starting rotation construction likely won’t be planned to include neither Spencer Strider nor Spencer Schwellenbach, at least for the whole season, as both are dealing with uncertain futures given their injury issues. Schwellenbach missed all of 2026 and Strider appeared in only eight games.

Anthopoulos provided a few other nuggets, including notes that decisions haven’t yet been made on possible changes to the coaching staff; that the future of two-time PED suspended outfielder Jurickson Profar with the Braves has not yet been decided (the final year of his three-year contract is 2027); and he was glad Austin Riley was healthy all season and complimented his defense while also being optimistic that he offense can regain form.

On the possibility of signing pending free agent pitcher Tyler Mahle, Anthopoulos said they would try to use their exclusive negotiating window to there advantage for Mahle and other of their own free agents. Anthopoulos was also complimentary of utility-man Maurico Dubón’s off-the-field prowess. Dubón, who is also a pending free agent, could be an option at shortstop should he re-sign with Atlanta for the ‘27 season.

Ex-Sabres Star Having Brutal Start With Blackhawks After Big Trade

The Buffalo Sabres made a major move this off-season when they trade defenseman Bowen Byram to the Chicago Blackhawks in a multi-player deal.

Byram quickly signed a six-year, $75 million contract extension with the Blackhawks after the trade. With this, he will have a massive $12.5 million cap hit starting next season.

Now, after landing his big payday, Byram is having a nightmare start to his tenure with the Blackhawks.

In five games so far this season with Chicago, the former Sabres defenseman has zero points to go along with a minus-8 rating. With this, there is no question that Byram is not leaving a great first impression with his new team.

While Byram has struggled early on with the Blackhawks, he has plenty of time to heat back up. Sometimes it takes players time to adjust to their new teams when traded, and this could very well end up being the case with Byram. 

Byram spent three seasons with the Sabres from 2023-24 to 2025-26. In 182 games with the Sabres over that span, he posted 21 goals, 68 assists, 89 points, and a plus-25 rating. This included him scoring 11 goals and recording a career-high 42 points in 82 games last season for Buffalo.

Preseason Preview #4: Wolves at Knicks Game Thread

Fresh off their one-point victory over the Miami Heat in which no starters from either team saw the court, the Minnesota Timberwolves are back in action on Monday. In their most important and telling game of the preseason, the Wolves head to the Big Apple to take on the defending champions

Game Info:

What to Look For

Neither the Wolves nor the Knicks have played their starters past 20 minutes in their preseason contests. Figure for more of the same in this bout. In a recent practice clip, LaMelo Ball told Anthony Edwards to look for the mismatches early.

The Knicks are a team loaded with solid wing defenders in OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart. Expect OG to match up with Ant, Bridges to take the Melo assignment, and Hart to guard Kuminga. If the Wolves are following Melo’s direction, they will hunt Jalen Brunson. As Dane Moore noted on the new Wolves Collectivepodcast, “Three years ago, teams would put their worst defender on Jaden McDaniels… On this team (this iteration of the Wolves), you have to hide your worst defender on Jaden McDaniels.”

This likely means McDaniels gets defended by Brunson. To continue to build chemistry, the Wolves are turning to guard-wing pick-and-rolls on the perimeter. This pulls Brunson into the action and leaves the Knicks with the question of whether to switch the coverage and play at a severe disadvantage.

Wolves fans are well-versed in watching Karl-Anthony Towns try to guard both at the level and in drop coverage, to mixed results filled with whistles. The Knicks no longer have the benefit of defensive stalwart and offensive rebounding savant Mitchell Robinson to back up or play alongside KAT. Should the Big Bodega pick up a few quick fouls, his night likely ends early, and the Knicks become that much easier to defend.

On the other side of the ball, Brunson is one of the craftiest scorers in the league and is unflappable when the game is tightest. Luckily, that won’t really matter in this game. The Knicks know who their core is, so long as owner James Dolan wishes to keep that core together.

They will run through their paces to keep the rust off, using the lethal Brunson/KAT pick-and-roll, spraying the ball out to capable shooters and decision-makers if blunted, all in an effort to put the Wolves’ defense in the blender. What Coach Brown needs to figure out is which of their veteran minimum and training camp invitees can support their title defense. More on that later.

Hustle Factor vs. The Right Play

The play of Joan Beringer in the most recent preseason game was encouraging. Yes, he did pick up his seemingly requisite four fouls, but his normally overflowing youthful energy was tapered. He did a better job waiting for the contact on his screen and giving the ball handler space before rushing to the rim. He held a little block party for himself, notching four of them in his 24 minutes of play, but what impressed me most was how infrequently he left his feet.

Instead, he showed more patience for the play to develop, as well as understanding that getting scored on in the early throws of the game can be preferable to early foul trouble.

While the Wolves starters on Saturday all finished positive in +/-, the bench was woeful save for Norchad Omier, who kept his head above water with a +3 in his nine minutes. Under-contract players like Cody Williams and Isaiah Evans brought a lot of energy, but most of it signified little.

The fringe rotation players and camp invitees are in a tough spot. Their minutes, let alone actual contracts, are on the line. They need to prove something to the Wolves’ coaches and front office or at least present a good enough showing to get a flyer from another team. What this leads to is players who have played little to no NBA minutes struggling to balance their own looks with what is best for the team and playing with reckless hustle detrimental to the right play.

Meanwhile, the Knicks are flush with NBA veterans who know what it means to bring it on any given night, yet are nevertheless fighting for their careers. New to New York are:

  • NBA champion Bruce Brown
  • Serviceable backup center Andre Drummond
  • Former number two overall pick James Wiseman (and technically NBA champion)
  • Former lottery pick Ochai Agbaji
  • Eight year veteran center Drew Eubanks
  • Eight year veteran center Tony Bradley

In the second half, I expect the eager youth to hang with the veterans. That said, unless the Wolves starters build a big lead in the first half, it is not hard to envision the Wolves losing their minutes overall to the more experienced group.

Listen to Your Hart

This one goes out to Jonathan Kuminga. I am of the belief that for Kuminga to really stick in the league and to earn the riches his agent has promised, he must model his game after Josh Hart. When asked about Hart, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said,

“Josh is just a winner. People ask ‘What position does he play?’ He plays winner. I don’t know what position he plays…At one point Spo turned to me and said ‘Some people get 50-50 balls; he gets the 30-70 balls”

I presume Hart will be guarding Kuminga. Barring any Freaky Friday situation that occurs after they collide going for a loose ball, I need him to be watching Hart’s game. How does Hart guard? How does he position to rebound? How does he use his activity to add that touch of chaos that prevents opposing teams from feeling they have a grip on the game?

In his last six years, Hart has averaged greater than seven rebounds and four assists a game. Being three inches taller and ten pounds heavier with generational athleticism, Kuminga has all the tools to pull in as many rebounds and a team chock-full of talent to kick out to if the easy shot isn’t there for him.

If JK can listen to his heart/Hart in the preseason and carry that through the regular season, the Wolves will not only have a bargain of a deal, but a meaningful shot at winning it all.

NLCS Game 1 Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (0-0) vs Los Angeles Dodgers (0-0)

Rematch. A chance for redemption. A chance to rewrite the ending from last season. For the second consecutive year, the Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers will face off in the National League Championship Series with the right to advance to the World Series on the line.

Each of the last three times the Brewers have made the NLCS, their opponent has been the Dodgers. 2018 and 2025 were both dates with LAD and 2026 is no different. The Brewers have yet to defeat the Dodgers in a postseason series.

This year, the Brewers appear far better positioned than last to take down baseball’s evil empire. They’re coming off only a four-game NLDS series win against a non-division opponent, so they’ve had three full days of rest to recover and prepare for this matchup. They have three fully stretched out starting pitchers that all had strong performances in the NLDS, as opposed to last year where they had largely just one in Freddy Peralta.

The team feels more confident this year that they can take down the Dodgers. That kind of belief is paramount to success.

On the mound, both teams will be throwing their best. Jacob Misiorowski will get the start for the Brewers, while Tarik Skubal is starting for the Dodgers. The Brewers attempted to trade for Skubal at the Deadline this year, but the Tigers opted to send him to Los Angeles. Now, the Brewers get to face the very player they wanted to have and avoid playing against.

Pat Murphy elected not to make any changes to his roster for the NLCS. It’ll be the same group that faced the Padres in the NLDS.

However, the lineup will change a little bit for Game 1. Christian Yelich, after starting each game of the last series, will be sitting on the bench for this first game. Andrew Vaughn will get his first start of the 2026 postseason and is batting 5th in the lineup as the DH.

“It’s about our team and what’s best for our team today, and it might not be the whole game, but it’s what’s best for our team today. You look at matchups, and you look at history, and you look at how the guy pitches a guy potentially, and what it could bring.” Pat Murphy said.

Jackson Chourio will once again be leading off and playing left field. Murphy has been trying to find the right hitter to put behind Chourio to protect him in the order. Brice Turang will get that nod for Game 1. He will be followed by William Contreras and then Jake Bauers is batting cleanup. Garrett Mitchell will bat 6th and play centerfield. Cooper Pratt follows Mitchell, batting 7th. Another change in the lineup is that Luis Lara will get the start in right field and bat 8th. Then Joey Ortiz rounds out the bottom of the order at third base.

Dave Roberts’ difficult lineup decisions are in as well. Mookie Betts will leadoff with Freddie Freeman batting second. Will Smith will catch and bat third, while Shohei Ohtani is batting cleanup. Teoscar Hernandez and Max Muncy will follow Ohtani. Then Andy Pages, Kyle Tucker, and Kike Hernandez will round out the bottom of the lineup for the Dodgers.

Former Canadiens Goalie Hits Impressive Career Milestone

Former Montreal Canadiens goalie Jake Allen has reached a very impressive career milestone. 

Allen appeared in his 500th career NHL game in the New Jersey Devils' 4-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. 

Allen certainly put together a solid performance in his milestone game. This is because the former Canadiens netminder saved 20 out of 21 shots he faced. With this, he finished the contest with a strong .952 save percentage. 

An NHL goalie reaching the 500-game mark is always impressive. Allen has had himself a solid career, and he will now be looking to continue to have success as it carries on. 

In 500 career NHL games split between the St. Louis Blues, Canadiens, and Devils, Allen has a 227-202-45 record, a .907 save percentage, and a 2.75 goals-against average. He also was a member of the Blues' 2019 Stanley Cup winning team. 

Allen spent four seasons with the Canadiens from 2020-21 to 2023-24. In 127 games over that span with Montreal, he posted a 41-68-15 record, an .899 save percentage, and a 3.30 goals-against average.

Dave Roberts won’t ‘hang my hat’ on Shohei Ohtani returning to form in NLCS, but still has blind faith

MILWAUKEE –– Dave Roberts struggled to explain his belief.

When asked for the umpteenth time this week about any positive signs he saw from slumping and injury-hampered slugger Shohei Ohtani in the opening round of the playoffs, the Dodgers’ manager couldn’t give a clear reason for optimism.

During his 2-for-13 performance in the National League Division Series against the Braves, Roberts thought Ohtani “did a good job of controlling the [strike] zone.” He said he “saw some better swings” for the 32-year-old, and liked that he at least reached base in all four games (with the help of a couple walks).

Still, Roberts didn’t try to pretend the four-time MVP looked to be on the verge of a breakout.

He, like everyone else, saw a version of Ohtani almost unrecognizable to what the Dodgers have become accustomed to over the last three years.

So, why exactly has the skipper continued to insist that Ohtani will “come to life” at some point in this postseason?

“There’s nothing right now I’m going to hang my hat on,” he conceded, “outside of, I just believe in the person and the talent … I’m just never going to count Shohei out.”

For now, such blind faith is as good as the Dodgers can muster when it comes to Ohtani, who was slated to hit cleanup in Game 1 of the NL Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.

They know the two-way star is still limited by left knee and right arm injuries. They are well aware he hasn’t hit a home run since Aug. 18, mired in a 22-game slump since then (including the regular season and playoffs) in which he has hit .157 and collected only one RBI.

However, hope continues to abound in what feels like an increasingly unlikely turnaround.

“I still think if he’s in the batter’s box, he’s still a threat,” Roberts said. “He swung the bat well against these guys last postseason. Those pitchers, their memories are long. Now it’s just up to Shohei to understand that and control the strike zone. They’re just not going to give in to him regardless of how he might be swinging the bat over the last couple months, in my opinion.”

Indeed, it was at this stage of last year’s playoffs that Ohtani emerged from a more routine, non-injury-triggered slump. After going 1-for-18 with nine strikeouts in the NLDS, then just 2-for-11 in the first three games of the NLCS against the Brewers, he exploded for an historic three-homer, 10-strikeout performance in the team’s pennant-clinching Game 4 victory, earning him series MVP honors.

This time, the Dodgers’ expectations are much more tempered.

Roberts only wanted to see Ohtani –– who has not spoken to reporters since before the start of last week’s division series –– find ways to “just get on base [and] take good at-bats,” especially against presumptive Cy Young Award winner Jacob Misiorowski in Game 1 of this year’s rematch.

“Shohei is known for his slug, but when you’re facing Jacob, it’s just you’ve got to take good at-bats,” Roberts said. “If you run into a homer, great. But if you can earn a walk, fantastic.”

For Ohtani and the rest of his Dodgers teammates, that process began during a Saturday night workout at American Family Field, when they tried to calibrate themselves for Misiorowski’s MLB-best 105 mph fastball by not only taking pitches off a velocity machine, but doing so from several steps in front of the plate to simulate the speed of his unprecedented heater.

“That’s actually an Albert Pujols drill,” hitting coach Aaron Bates said. “When Albert was with us in ’21, he used to do that every day before he started. So it just gets the transition [of your swing to happen] quicker and just [trains] the overall tempo. Obviously, Misiorowski throws hard, so it’s a good drill for that.”

For Ohtani, in particular, the focus of his rare on-field BP was “just trying not to flip the barrel so soon,” Bates said, theorizing that Ohtani –– likely because of his injuries –– has been overexerting himself on swings to try and create his normal bat speed and power at the plate.

“I think it happens incrementally,” Bates said. “I don’t think that guys necessarily know when they’re swinging harder. It just happens so minute and such in small little samples that eventually adds up to too much effort. So I think that any drills that you can do to control the effort level will always be beneficial.”

The mental cue the hitting staff has given Ohtani: Focus on sticking a controlled finish with his swing, and “reverse engineer” more consistent mechanics from that.

“His work’s been great in the cages, and even into the games too,” Bates said. “I think it was more about just, again, [about finding] the feels that he wants to feel.”

At this point, it’s just the latest reason for cautious optimism that the Dodgers will be clinging to.

They don’t know exactly how, or why, or when it might happen. But eventually, they are still expecting their blind faith in Ohtani to be validated.

Brewers captain benched as Jacob Misiorowski starts Game 1 vs Dodgers

With Tarik Skubal on the mound, the Milwaukee Brewers will send their captain to the bench for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. 

The Brewers made a pair of changes to their standard lineup used in beating San Diego in the NL Division Series, opting for righty-swinging Andrew Vaughn at designated hitter in place of Christian Yelich and switch-hitting Luis Lara in right field. 

Skubal, the game's most dominant left-handed pitcher, won Game 1 of the Dodgers' NL Division Series against Atlanta. Milwaukee opted for the rookie Lara in right field, though lefty-swinging Sal Frelick will almost certainly be used against a right-hander later in the game. 

The Brewers beat Skubal in an Aug. 16 matchup at Dodger Stadium, two weeks after L.A. acquired th two-time Cy Young Award winner from Detroit. Catcher William Contreras batted leadoff that day, while Vaughn and first baseman Jake Bauers combined for six hits in the 6-2 victory.

Brewers lineup today

  2. Brice Turang (L) 2B
  3. William Contreras (R) C
