Cancel your Saturday night plans: we have a seventh game in the National League championship series. A team – defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers or center-wide champion Milwaukee Brewers – will travel to Boston to face the Red Sox in the first game of the World Series on Tuesday. The other will spend the Sunday cleaning up his club.
The most important thing of the day: If the experience is supposed to be your guide in situations like this, many of this year's Dodgers have recently taken part in a decisive win-draw match – just last year, during the match 7 World Series against the Houston Astros. . Unfortunately for them, they lost, so who says that experience counts? Neither team has been here before, and both stand on the verge of greatness.

If the brewers win: They are returning to the World Series for the first time since 1982 – and for the second time only in the history of the franchise – after winning their first National League pennant. Can they add their first title to the World Series?
If the Dodgers win: They have another chance to win everything because they keep their crown and make consecutive appearances in the World Series for the first time since 1977-1978 (when they lost both times). Can they add a championship on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of their magic season of 1988?
A key statistic to know: Josh Hader raised the score 10-fold while offering three days of rest this season in both the regular season and the playoffs combined, recording a 1.56 medal in 17⅓. He removed 25 of the 60 batters that he faced in those appearances. That 13.0 K / 9 sounds a lot, but it's actually inferior than his regular season average of 15.8 K / 9.
The game that matters most: How does Chacin manage to fight the big left-handed bats of the Dodgers, especially the second time in training? He held Joc Pederson, Max Muncy, Cody Bellinger and Yasmani Grandal to a combined total of 1-on-9, with a two-on-one double and one-two for the first two times, while maintaining a five-inning record at Los Angeles. the Brewers win the third game at Dodger Stadium. If he can still do something like this, it could be a surprisingly low game in the very offensive environment of Miller Park.
The prediction: In the moments following the loss of the fifth game against the Brewers in Los Angeles, Craig Counsell said, "We are coming back home in a strong position and we are very well placed, in my opinion, we are going home. 6. And we have a great opportunity. "And he was right.
After defeating the Dodgers in Match 6, Saturday's duel against the winner is preparing for Milwaukee. Miller Park will switch. They have a veteran on the hill of Chacin against a rookie (incredibly talented). Hader will be available whenever Counsell chooses to drop him. Add it all and I see the Brew Crew celebrating with a champagne party Saturday night before heading to Boston for the team's first World Series in 36 years. Brewers 5, Dodgers 2. – Dan Mullen, ESPN.com
