Dodgers face near impossibility trailing Brewers 3-0
True Blue LA • • sports
Key Points:
- The Dodgers are trailing 3-0 in the 2025 NLCS against the Brewers, joining 42 teams in MLB history to face such a deficit; historically, 32 of those teams were swept, making a Dodgers comeback highly unlikely.
- The Brewers can clinch the National League pennant as early as Game 4 at Dodger Stadium, with the Dodgers struggling offensively, having only three run-scoring hits in seven postseason games.
- Only one team, the 2004 Boston Red Sox, has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-seven series, highlighting the rarity and difficulty of such a comeback.
- The Dodgers have a strong record in elimination games under manager Dave Roberts, going 15-7 since 2016, but now face the daunting task of winning four straight against a dominant Brewers team.
- Despite the odds, Dodgers players emphasize the need for urgency and resilience, focusing on winning one game at a time to try to extend the series beyond the likely conclusion on Thursday or Friday.
