MILWAUKEE (Interstat) — The Milwaukee Brewers who posted the National League’s best record will host the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of their playoff series on Monday October 13 2025 at American Family Field.

The Brewers (100-67) enter the postseason with home-field advantage but face a Dodgers team (98-70) that dominated them during the regular season. Milwaukee swept a three-game set in Los Angeles in July and won five of the six head-to-head matchups in 2025.

Los Angeles arrives in Milwaukee riding momentum from its previous series a tightly contested set against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Dodgers clinched that series with a 2-1 victory on Thursday powered by a stellar combined pitching effort from Tyler Glasnow Roki Sasaki and Alex Vesia.

Milwaukee secured its spot by defeating the Chicago Cubs 3-1 on Saturday with Jacob Misiorowski Abner Uribe and Chad Patrick combining for a strong relief appearance.

Despite the Brewers’ regular-season dominance in the matchup the Dodgers are installed as pregame favorites with a spread of -1.5. The over/under is set at 7.5 runs. Interstat’s game simulator projects a high-scoring affair favoring Los Angeles 8-5.

The winner of this best-of-seven series will advance to the World Series.
