The interesting thing about the Brewers is that they have (I believe) trailed in every game in the post-season...including all 4 Dodger games. They are a very good, very likeable team.
They did trail in all games except Game 4 against San Diego. And in Game 3 against the Yanks, they did go up 1-0 before trailing 2-1.
Apparently, this is the first time in MLB history that a team gets a sweep revenge against the same team that swept them the year before. It has happened 4 times before, twice in the NBA and twice in the NHL. And this is the first time it happens in two best-of-seven series.

As much as I don't want them to win, I also don't want the Dodgers to not come with their A game. It's so much better when both teams have to sweat...
The Phillies season ended with a 6 game home stand that had the Brewers and the Rays in town. It was fairly obvious then that either the Phillies were going to have to get very hot with the bats very quickly, or they would be out early.
Both the Rays and Brewers play hard, smart, and fundamentally sound. They will play small ball, and keep at you during all 9 innings. They are tiring, to the point of being almost boring.
To your point about sweating it out... the great thing about baseball is the pressure you can place on the other team, and how that can massively adjust with every single pitch. Every fan over 30 has dealt with their own team "stealing a win" and "giving one away".... sometimes in the same inning. It makes baseball the most electric playoff sport going (with a close second to OT playoff hockey). The pressure is so much greater when the clock isn't driving decisions and actions.
Anyway... I'd love to see the Dodgers come back and lose it by one in the bottom of the 9th of game 7, but I'll take a bit of boredom right now and hope for something more in the Series.

Yes! Anybody but Red Sox West.
Iâll take any of the other 3, but Iâll pull for the Brew Crew since my buddyâs godson used to be their scout until he went to SF.

Oh, did the Yank-mes lose? Is their season over? Oh too bad.

My contract stipulates I canât go past 3 batters. When did it become the norm that pitchers canât go past 6 innings and closers only are for the ninth only. I blame data analytics. ð
I give you the example of the Red Sox pulling Sonny Grey, your best pitcher, at only 77 pitches to put a setup guy in and blow the game. ð¤¬
