This will be the final playoff report for LCS. Apparently Milwaukee’s gambit in LA paid off and now the NLCS is down to a final game — much like how the Cubs did it in 2016. Here’s what the people say about today.

| Home Field | 86 | 110 |
Vegas lines and Tier Combo simulation are almost exactly in sync making this game a complete discard. EV for Home Field advantage is at 110 for MIL but bets are not to be made based upon historical home field advantage because we have a lot more information about this game. Game starts tonight so we’ll see.
World Series reports will come next. Until then ….
