What happened: The Los Angeles Dodgers enter a scheduled game with the Milwaukee Brewers leading the series 2-0. The game has not started, listed at 0-0. The next three are scheduled at home for Los Angeles.

Why it matters: A 2-0 deficit leaves Los Angeles needing the longer run of results to change the series. That math sits against back-to-back titles built on late escapes.

What to watch: The scheduled start will show if Los Angeles opens the required run. The scoreless start leaves the next step undecided.
