This matchup turns on how long the starters can keep traffic away from the middle relievers. Milwaukee has been extending at-bats and putting runners on, while Los Angeles still has enough power to turn a short pitching stint into a big inning. The first handoff on each side should shape the rest of the game.

Game 4 turns on the first pitching change as much as the starters. Milwaukee have stretched top starters with long at-bats, while Los Angeles have put runners on without often stringing productive hits together. Drohan opens a bullpen game opposite Glasnow, so the first handoffs could arrive with very different workloads and runner states. The teams remain at Dodger Stadium after the previous game, making the batting and relief choices central to this matchup.
This matchup turns on Glasnow's command and the handoff from Milwaukee's short opening stint to its longer relief work. Both lineups have ways to reach base, but the next run-scoring chance after the first rally is the decisive test. The pitching changes matter as much as the named starters in this series game.
The next Dodgers–Brewers game could be decided in the handoff between pitchers. Milwaukee has named an opener after asking a lot of its bullpen through the postseason, while Los Angeles says several arms are unavailable as it plans for a longer series. That creates a good question on both sides: who can get useful innings without forcing the manager into his last comfortable option too early?
