The Los Angeles Dodgers have set their NLCS schedule for their clash with the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Dodgers and Brewers both won their NLDS series in four games, setting up a well-rested, full-throttle clash.

If the series hasn’t been decided yet, two road games in Milwaukee will close it out. Game 6 will be on Sunday, October 18th, and Game 7 on Monday, October 19th.

All games will be on Fox or FS1, with times still to be determined.

Dodgers rotation prediction

The rotation is also yet to be announced, but the NLDS should provide a glimpse of what is to come.

It is safe to say Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tarik Skubal will take the ball for the first two games. Yamamoto is a great road pitcher, and his results away from LA should give him the edge.

Skubal, mentally able to pitch anywhere, is one of the best pitchers on the planet and will have enough rest to start the series.

This lines up Tyler Glasnow to pitch in either Game 3 or Game 4, with Blake Snell taking the other game.

Yamamoto and Skubal were stellar in their NLDS starts, but questions remain about Glasnow and Snell, who lacked sharpness.
