Monday’s schedule brings two League Championship Series games and a primetime NFL matchup. Each has a different storyline, from a quick chance to even a playoff series to a heavyweight meeting under the lights.
Dodgers at Brewers: NLCS Game 2
Milwaukee took the opener 2–1, with its bullpen protecting a narrow lead late. The Dodgers get a quick chance to answer in Game 2, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto set to face Logan Henderson. After Los Angeles stranded several runners in the opener, getting more out of its chances will be a clear focus. The Brewers will look to keep the pressure on and carry their early series lead into the next game. First pitch is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. ET.
Guardians at Rays: ALCS Game 1
The American League Championship Series opens at 8:00 p.m. ET. Tampa Bay swept the Yankees to reach the ALCS, while Cleveland advanced after a five-game series against the White Sox. The Rays won five of the teams’ six regular-season meetings, but playoff baseball gives the Guardians a fresh chance to change that matchup. Drew Rasmussen starts for Tampa Bay, opposite Cleveland’s Foster Griffin.
Bills at Rams: Monday Night Football
Buffalo and Los Angeles close the night at 8:15 p.m. ET. The Bills are looking to respond after their first loss of the season. The Rams come in after a comeback win and will try to keep that momentum at home. Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford headline the matchup, but the game could turn on which team controls the pace and protects the ball.
From the first pitch in Milwaukee to the final whistle at SoFi Stadium, Monday has plenty for fans to follow. The Dodgers are chasing an equalizer, the Guardians and Rays are starting a new series, and the Bills and Rams get the primetime stage.
