The Phillies already threw away &#8211; literally &#8211; their shot at overcoming last year\u2019s champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers. But after winning the first two games of the series, the Brewers lost the next two to the Cubs in Chicago. The series now returns to Milwaukee for its finale to see whether the Brew Crew can host the NLCS or if the Cubs must travel to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">By the time this article is posted, perhaps we will know who the starting pitchers are, but as I begin to write it late Saturday morning, neither team is prepared to announce who will pitch for them this evening and both pitchers are listed as TBD on MLB\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Per <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marqueesportsnetwork.com\/nlds-game-5-chicago-cubs-milwaukee-brewers-starting-pitcher-shota-imanaga-cade-horton\/\">Marquee Sports Network<\/a>, the Cubs are most likely to start Shota Imanaga &#8211; their opening day starter who developed trouble with the longball down the stretch that has continued into the postseason &#8211; or Colin Rea &#8211; a veteran right-hander who has never been elite, but has pitched well lately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As for the Brewers, well, let\u2019s just check out this quote from <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=1025X1734621&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mlb.com%2Fnews%2Fjacob-misiorowski-could-start-game-5-of-nlds\" rel=\"sponsored\">MLB.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<blockquote class=\"duet--article--blockquote _1teeyfa0 ls9zuh9\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">The Brewers have gone from removing rookie <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=1025X1734621&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mlb.com%2Fplayer%2F694819\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">Jacob Misiorowski<\/a> from the starting rotation at the end of the regular season to fielding persistent questions about whether he would even make the postseason roster to potentially needing him to help save the season.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If The Mis starts the game, it seems unlikely he\u2019d be asked to pitch particularly deep. As a winner-takes-all match, however, that\u2019s true for both teams. As we saw in last night\u2019s matchup, which saw starters Logan Gilbert, Luis Castillo, and Jack Flaherty all take the mound in relief as each team tried desperately to stay ahead of the other. We can only hope tonight\u2019s game is half as thrilling as that one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The game can be viewed on TBS or HBO Max.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.royalsreview.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After an absolute barnburner of an ALDS finale last night with the Mariners finally escaping the clutches of the Detroit Tigers after 15 innings of play, the NLDS will come to a conclusion tonight.
