The Los Angeles Dodgers are heading home with a commanding 2-0 series lead over the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2025 NLCS.
The 5-1 Dodgers win in Game 2 puts the Brewers, who had the best regular-season in the MLB this year, in danger as the Los Angeles stretch of this series begins and their home field advantage vanishes.
In all best-of-seven NLCS dating back to 1985, a team with a 2-0 lead won 14 out of 17 times. More broadly, 93 teams have been up 2-0 in any MLB best-of-seven series and 73 of those teams eventually won the series.
