The NLCS is set to begin this Monday, Oct. 13 with two of the National Leagues most dominant teams of the season facing off. The Los Angeles Dodgers, No. 1 in the NL West, will visit the Milwaukee Brewers, No. 1 in the NL Central division, to kick off the best-of-seven series. The Brewers and Dodgers have previously met six times this season, with the Brewers winning every game. Can the Dodgers win this series and make it to the World Series for a second year in a row? Will the Brewers finally win a Fall Classic? We'll have to wait to see how this all shakes out. The winner of this series will face the winner of the ALCS between the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners at the World Series, which is scheduled to begin Friday, Oct. 24.
