The Brewers also have the luxury of leaning on some of the bullpen that hasn't been used yet, rather than having to try to chase a win with their A bullpen. Whether Murphy will do that or not is another question, as he tends to overuse his trusted arms, but theoretically, it is an advantage the Brewers earned by winning the first two games.

[u/ShiningMonolith → u/mrmojorisin2794]

I guess that’s part of the hope for Dodger fans, is they’ll either be facing potentially overused high leverage arms, or lower leverage BP arms that they might be able to get to. I’m sure the lower leverage guys are still pretty good though.
