The Milwaukee Brewers are heading into the offseason after the club’s World Series hopes were brought to an end by an abrupt sweep in the NLCS by the Los Angeles Dodgers. As the Brewers regroup, the futures of many of the team’s stars remain uncertain.
Los Angeles sealed their trip to the World Series in a dominating performance against the Brewers, partially thanks to NLCS MVP Shohei Ohtani's stellar performance on the mound and at the plate. The dual-threat superstar kept the Brewers at bay by pitching six scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts.
Snell's .622 WPA showing from his Game 1 masterpiece against Milwaukee is easily the best score from any player so far this postseason. Whereas Ohtani's two-way brilliance in the clincher of that series came in a mostly one-sided game, Snell's 90 game score over eight innings was posted in a more intense context.
The Brewers' season, once promising with an MLB-best 97 wins, came to a disappointing end Friday when they were swept by the Dodgers.
