The Los Angeles Dodgers are set for a pivotal Game Three in their NLCS with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Milwaukee holds a 2-0 lead, and if the Dodgers want to advance to the World Series, they must win four of the next five games, which will certainly be a tall task.
However, the series has now shifted to LA, and the Dodgers have another ace in Blake Snell taking the ball on Wednesday evening.
Before the NLCS Game Three, the Dodgers revealed their lineup to try and muster runs off southpaw Robert Gasser, and Max Muncy is not featured in the group.

Likely due to the Brewers throwing a southpaw the Dodgers way in Game 3, Max Muncy is not featured in the batting order, but he will likely be used in a pinch-hit scenario if Milwaukee deploys a RHP at some in the game to face Miguel Rojas, who is IN at 3B in Muncy’s place.
