The Milwaukee Brewers have plenty to consider before facing the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series.

Milwaukee won the seven-game regular season series 4-3, but the postseason presents an entirely different challenge.

Both teams received first-round byes. The Brewers advanced by defeating the San Diego Padres in the National League Division Series, while the Dodgers eliminated the Atlanta Braves. They will meet with a World Series appearance at stake.

Milwaukee’s biggest question involves how manager Pat Murphy will arrange the starting rotation.

Although the team has not officially announced its plans, Jacob Misiorowski is expected to start Game 1 unless the Brewers make a surprising decision. Logan Henderson should follow in Game 2.

That alignment could allow both pitchers to start twice. Misiorowski could handle Games 1 and 5, while Henderson could pitch Games 2 and 6.

The uncertainty begins after them.

Milwaukee started Dustin May in Game 3 against San Diego on Tuesday before using Robert Gasser in Game 4 on Wednesday. Both should start against Los Angeles, but their order remains undecided.

May gave up two runs on three hits with three strikeouts and two walks in three innings during his start against the Padres.

The Brewers arguably could have left him in longer, although hindsight makes that decision easier to criticize.

Gasser allowed one run on three hits (one home run) with three strikeouts and a walk in four innings during Game 4.

Milwaukee did not receive much length from its starters against San Diego. Henderson’s five innings in Game 2 represented the longest outing by any Brewers starter during the series.

Despite May possessing more postseason experience, Milwaukee should consider starting Gasser in Game 3 and May in Game 4.

Gasser entered the postseason pitching better. He finished the regular season with a 1.67 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 27 innings over his last five starts, with Milwaukee winning four of those games.

He has also not allowed more than one run in an appearance since facing the Chicago Cubs on Sept. 1.

May’s postseason experience remains valuable. Starting Game 4 at Dodger Stadium should not intimidate him because he spent almost six years calling the ballpark home.

Games 1 and 2 will take place in Milwaukee. The next three will be played in Los Angeles if necessary, followed by the last two in Milwaukee if required.

Gasser’s recent form earns him the stronger case for Game 3. His ability to limit damage, maintain control and give Milwaukee competitive innings can help prevent Los Angeles from gaining early momentum.

May can still provide value in Game 4 through his familiarity with Dodger Stadium and experience in demanding situations.

A rotation order of Misiorowski, Henderson, Gasser and May gives Milwaukee its best opportunity to advance.
