The Dodgers currently face a 3-0 deficit in the series, and need to win Thursday’s game to keep their World Series hopes alive. They managed just two runs in Game 3 of the NLCS, the first of three potential games in Los Angeles.
Who is Pitching For the Dodgers?
As they announced before the start of the series, the Dodgers have Tyler Glasnow on the mound for the fourth game of the NLCS. Injuries cut Glasnow’s regular season short, allowing him to make just 22 starts while posting a 3.49 ERA, but he earned an all-important win for the team in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves.
He threw 4.2 innings while allowing just one earned run, though he allowed five walks in the process. The veteran right-hander will look to keep the Brewers off of the board to give the Dodgers some kind of advantage in Thursday’s game.

The Dodgers made just one substitution in their lineup from Game 3, but drastically changed the order in which their hitters appear. Shohei Ohtani returned to the top of the lineup as the Dodgers’ designated hitter, followed by shortstop Mookie Betts and first baseman Freddie Freeman. Catcher Will Smith, after his two-run double in Wednesday’s loss, returns to the cleanup spot for the Dodgers, and right fielder Kyle Tucker follows him to the plate.
Left fielder Teoscar Hernandez will bat sixth, and Miguel Rojas remains in the lineup, though as the second baseman for Game 4. Batting eighth is center fielder Andy Pages, and Kiké Hernandez steps in at third base to round out the lineup.
