The series is red hot and Game 4 could define the fate of the NLCS. The Dodgers come in with a 3-0 lead and the chance to sweep at home, while the Brewers will try to avoid elimination against an offense that has barely been able to get going.
Who will be the starters and what lineups could they use?
Dodgers: they will put Shohei Ohtani on the mound, in what marks his second start of the postseason
Brewers: have yet to officially confirm their starter for this game
As for the lineups, we should be on the lookout for possible adjustments to face Ohtani’s arm. The Brewers will need to rely on early contact and try to shake off their offensive lethargy.
Betting houses widely favor the Dodgers, placing them as favorites with lines like -200 (or close) and with the total around 7.5-8 runs
Many analysts project that, with Ohtani on the mound and an already hot offense, the Dodgers could close out the series tonight.
When, where and how to watch?
Game 4 will be played on Friday, October 17, 2025, at Dodger Stadium, with first pitch estimated for 8:38 p.m. ET / 5:38 p.m. PT
The broadcast will be on TBS, truTV and via streaming on HBO Max for those who have access through a TV provider.
If all goes as expected for Los Angeles, Game 4 could be the final chapter of this NLCS. But in baseball, nothing is written until the last base is run.
