See Dodgers lineup today behind starting pitcher Tarik Skubal vs Brewers

The Los Angeles Dodgers will kick off the 2026 National League Championship Series with a matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, with Tarik Skubal earning the starting nod for Game 1. Skubal, who impressed in the NLDS by holding the Atlanta Braves to a single run while striking out seven batters over six innings, will look to build on that performance in front of his home crowd.

The Dodgers’ lineup will feature both Teoscar and Kiké Hernández, with Shohei Ohtani batting fourth and Kiké Hernández playing second base and leading off the ninth spot—a rare starting assignment against left-handed pitching for the versatile infielder, who homered in Game 3 against Chris Sale of the Braves. Manager Dave Roberts has also set Yoshinobu Yamamoto, last year’s World Series MVP, to start Game 2 on Monday at the Brewers’ home field, ensuring a strong rotation for the high-stakes series.
