Context

The Milwaukee Brewers swept the Dodgers in the National League Championship Series, ending Los Angeles' run of consecutive World Series appearances at two. The Dodgers won the title in 2025.

The Dodgers' offense struggled in October, and Shohei Ohtani was reportedly limited by injuries. A newspaper column has since called for him to stop pitching, while Ohtani and the team have said he plans to continue as a two-way player.
