Who Should Cardinals Fans Pull for in the NLCS: The Brewers or Dodgers?

With Game 1 of the NLCS in the books after the Brewers prevailed 2-1, who should Cardinals fans be pulling for to win this series and advance to the World Series?

Would it be better for the Cardinals to see the National League Central Division champion Brewers -- who are still seeking their first World Series title and haven't advanced to the World Series since 1982 when the Cards beat them in seven games -- prevail?

Or should Cards fans be rooting for a potentially dynastic Dodgers franchise shooting for a third straight World Series crown? Incredibly, the Dodgers are trying to become the first National League team to ever win three World Series in a row.

For a third straight season, the Cardinals played well against the Dodgers. The Cards took two of three from LA at Busch Stadium and then went to Dodgers Stadium and won the three-game series there in early September. St. Louis actually came within a blown save by Riley O'Brien of sweeping the Dodgers in early September.

The Brewers, on the other hand, completely manhandled the Cards. After winning the first meeting of the season, Milwaukee won the next seven games over the Cards. In addition to the Cardinals going a forgettable 11-2 against the Brew Crew in 2026, they also went 0-for-Milwaukee. They lost a three-game series in American Family Field in late May and were swept there again to end the regular season.

So, which do you prefer: Pulling for the ML Central champion Brewers or the dynastic Dodgers?
