Pitchers Clash: Brewers and Dodgers Battle in NLCS Game 2

The Milwaukee Brewers are set to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. The game is scheduled for 8:08 p. m. ET at American Family Field. The Brewers aim to bounce back after losing the series opener 2-1. Freddy Peralta, the Brewers' ace, will take the mound against the Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Peralta has a solid record against the Dodgers, with a 4-2 career mark and a 3. 27 ERA in eight starts. He won both of his starts against them this season. Yamamoto, on the other hand, had a rough outing against the Brewers earlier this year, allowing five runs in just two-thirds of an inning. The Dodgers are favored at -120, while the Brewers are priced at +100. SportsLine's projection model sees value in the Brewers as slight underdogs, predicting they will win about 56% of the time. However, expert Zack Cimini believes the Dodgers will secure another win and take a commanding lead in the series. In other sports news, the Minnesota Wild will face the Dallas Stars in the NHL, and the Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFL. The Steelers, led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, have been on a roll, winning their last three games. The Bengals, meanwhile, have struggled since quarterback Joe Burrow's season-ending injury. They recently acquired Joe Flacco, who had a decent debut but couldn't secure a win against the Packers.
