Dodgers look to clinch NLDS in Game 4 against Phillies:

https://thescore.com/mlb/news/3364253

Last Meeting ( Oct 8, 2025 ) Philadelphia 8, LA Dodgers 2

While the Phillies will return to left-hander Cristopher Sanchez in Game 4 on four days' rest, the Dodgers will go to right-hander Tyler Glasnow for his first start of the postseason.

Sanchez opened with five scoreless innings in Game 1 before the Dodgers scored two runs off him in the sixth and added three more in the seventh against the bullpen for a 5-3 victory.

In four career regular-season starts against the Dodgers, Sanchez is 2-0 with a 4.01 ERA, including an 0-0 mark and a 5.68 ERA in two outings this year.

Glasnow will become the fourth Dodgers starter in six games this postseason. It marks a change from last season when they used just three traditional starters over their 16-game postseason run.

Since Sept. 21, Glasnow has pitched just 4 2/3 innings, including a three-inning start Sept. 27 against the Seattle Mariners and a five-out relief appearance in Game 1 vs. the Phillies. He didn't permit a run in either outing.

"It was nice to get him in there in Philly, but as far as kind of his buildup, I think it's just a normal start," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "We'll just kind of read and react and see how he's throwing the baseball."

Glasnow finished 4-3 with a 3.19 ERA in 18 regular-season starts after missing more than two months with shoulder inflammation. He is 1-0 with a 7.56 ERA in five regular-season appearances (three starts) against the Phillies, who pounded him for five runs in two-plus innings on April 6. He walked five in that brief outing.

While the Dodgers' offense relied on Shohei Ohtani and his 55 home runs in the regular season, the two-way star is 1-for-14 with seven strikeouts in the current series.

Milwaukee Brewers ML-120 bet365 @ Chicago Cubs * 9:08 pm

Brewers bring 2-1 NLDS lead into Game 4 against Cubs:

https://thescore.com/mlb/news/3364251

Last Meeting ( Oct 8, 2025 ) Milwaukee 3, Chi. Cubs 4

For Milwaukee, right-hander Freddy Peralta would be in line to take the mound on four days' rest should he get the nod.

Peralta (1-0, 3.18 ERA postseason) followed up a 17-win regular season by allowing two runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings in a 9-3 victory over the Cubs in the series opener on Saturday.

Peralta, 29, finished 3-1 with a 3.43 ERA in four regular-season starts vs. Chicago this season. He is 9-3 with a 3.21 ERA in 22 career regular-season appearances (17 starts) against the Cubs.

Chicago left-hander Matthew Boyd likely will get the nod Thursday in a rematch of the series opener.

Boyd (0-1, 5.40 ERA postseason) would love a better result after permitting six runs, two earned, on four hits in two-thirds of an inning on Saturday. In that contest, he was pitching on three days' rest for the first time this year.

Boyd, 34, went 1-1 with a 7.84 ERA in two regular-season starts vs. Milwaukee in 2025. He is 2-2 with a 9.00 ERA in five career regular-season appearances (all starts) against the Brewers.

Brewers first baseman Jake Bauers is 1-for-11 in his career against Boyd. Bauers homered and drove in two runs on Wednesday, but he failed to come through with the bases loaded in the eighth, striking out to end the inning.

"Obviously going down three in the first (inning) is not good, but no one in there lost confidence," Bauers said.
