On Sunday night, the Milwaukee Brewers kick off the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Brewers will be looking to start this series on the right foot by picking up a victory. Falling behind the Dodgers in the series would not be ideal in the slightest for Milwaukee.

Now, as the Brewers prepare for Game 1 against the Dodgers, they have announced a lineup decision regarding Jackson Chourio.

The Brewers’ lineup for Game 1 has been revealed, and Chourio is in an important spot. This is because he will be Milwaukee’s leadoff hitter in Game 1 against the Dodgers.

Chourio Looking to Have Big Series vs. Dodgers

With Chourio being the Brewers’ top star, he is a player that they are relying on heavily against the Dodgers. If they hope to beat the back-to-back reigning World Series champions, they need Chourio to be on his A-game.

In four playoff games so far, Chourio has posted one home run, six RBI, and a .188 batting average. It will be interesting to see what he can do against Los Angeles from here.
