Brewers vs. Dodgers NLCS Game 3: Prediction Market Prices, Props, & Preview
Milwaukee takes a 2–0 series lead to Los Angeles, where the Dodgers are favored to respond in a pivotal Game 3.
The Milwaukee Brewers are halfway to the World Series after winning the first two games of the National League Championship Series. But prediction market traders still favor the Los Angeles Dodgers in Wednesday night's matchup.
Game 3 begins at 8 p.m. ET on October 14 at Dodger Stadium, with national coverage on FS1. Los Angeles will send Blake Snell to the mound against Milwaukee's Robert Gasser as the defending champions try to avoid a 3–0 series deficit.
Market Snapshot
Market prices as of October 14, 2026 at 10:15 a.m. ET.
Milwaukee has already beaten two prominent Los Angeles starters, Tarik Skubal and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, but the market gives the Dodgers the edge with Snell pitching at home. Only one team in MLB postseason history has recovered from a 3–0 deficit in a best-of-seven series.
Brewers Take Control of the NLCS
Milwaukee opened the series with a 2-1 victory before winning Game 2 by a score of 7-4.
Catcher William Contreras drove the second victory, collecting three hits and three RBIs, including a game-tying home run and a go-ahead single. Christian Yelich added two RBIs, while the Brewers' bullpen retired all 15 batters it faced.
Yamamoto lasted just 2⅔ innings, giving Milwaukee an early opportunity to attack the Dodgers' pitching staff.
The Dodgers entered Wednesday hitting .193 as a team and just 2-for-26 with runners in scoring position. Shohei Ohtani was 3-for-20 without an extra-base hit, although manager Dave Roberts confirmed he would remain in the Game 3 lineup.
Snell vs. Gasser: Game 3 Pitching Matchup
Snell provides Los Angeles with an opportunity to regain control, but his recent outing raises questions about how deep he can pitch.
The veteran left-hander posted a 1.90 ERA during the regular season, yet struggled with command against Atlanta in the Division Series. He issued five walks and needed 90 pitches without completing four innings.
Milwaukee counters with Gasser, who finished the regular season with a 3.87 ERA. The left-hander allowed just two hits and one walk over four innings against San Diego in the NLDS, striking out three. Los Angeles defeated him twice during the regular season.
Gasser allowed just two hits and one walk over four innings against San Diego in the NLDS, although the Dodgers defeated him twice during the regular season.
The contrast creates an interesting pitching subplot: Snell offers the stronger season-long numbers, while Gasser enters with encouraging recent form and a Milwaukee lineup that has worked opposing starters hard.
Brewers vs. Dodgers Prediction Markets
The Bottom Line
The Brewers have taken control of the NLCS, but the Dodgers remain favored to win Game 3 behind Snell at home.
For Los Angeles, improved production from Ohtani and the rest of the lineup is essential after two disappointing results. Milwaukee, meanwhile, has an opportunity to move within one victory of its first World Series appearance since 1982.
The immediate question for prediction market traders is whether the Dodgers can turn their Game 3 advantage into a series-changing win—or whether Milwaukee can continue its postseason run.
