For the Brewers, failing to advance would be a significant setback, especially as the top seed. The outcome of this series could influence team strategies and player trades in the offseason, impacting the competitive landscape of the league.

Game 4 is scheduled for Friday, October 17, at Dodger Stadium, with Shohei Ohtani set to pitch for the Dodgers. The Brewers need to find a way to overcome their offensive struggles to extend the series. If the Dodgers win, they will advance to the World Series, where they will face the winner of the American League Championship Series. The Brewers will need to regroup and address their weaknesses in preparation for next season.
