Mookie Betts says Dodgers aren’t underestimating Brewers in NLCS rematch: ‘They’re just better’

The Los Angeles Dodgers are entering their National League Championship Series rematch against the Milwaukee Brewers with a clear-eyed assessment of their opponent’s growth. After sweeping Milwaukee in four games last year en route to back-to-back World Series appearances, the Dodgers now face a Brewers squad that has significantly elevated its play, finishing the regular season with the best record in baseball.

Despite both teams tying at 100 wins, Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts emphasized that the Brewers are a far more formidable team this time around, noting their increased experience and overall talent. The series promises to be a clash of two elite franchises, each built on depth and firepower, rather than a mismatch.

With neither side holding a clear advantage, the outcome will hinge on execution and small details as they vie for a spot in the 2026 Fall Classic.
