History suggests this series could already be over. Teams that lose the first two games of a best-of-seven series rarely come back, though it has happened before.
History is on Milwaukee’s side. Teams that take a 2-0 lead in a best-of-seven postseason series have gone on to win roughly 84% of the time. Six teams have overcome a 2-0 deficit in League Championship Series history, and the Dodgers are looking to become the seventh. Three of those comebacks have come since 2020, including Los Angeles’ rally over the Braves in the 2020 NLCS.

Here are the teams that have overcome 2-0 deficits in a League Championship Series:
- 2025 — Toronto Blue Jays overcame a 2-0 deficit to the Seattle Mariners and won in seven games.
- 2023 — The Arizona Diamondbacks took down the Phillies 4-3.
- 2020 — The Los Angeles Dodgers lost the first two games to the Braves and then won the series in seven games.
- 2004 — Probably the most famous of all the comeback stories, the Red Sox went down 3-0 and beat the Yankees in four straight games. They went on to win the World Series as well.
- 1985 — The Cardinals overcame a 2-0 deficit to beat the Dodgers, 4-2, in the NLCS, while the Royals rallied from 2-0 down to defeat the Blue Jays, 4-3, in the ALCS.
We also just saw the Guardians win the ALDS after dropping the first two games. Can the Dodgers add to the small list of NLCS winners? Perhaps the Brewers can put the Dodgers back completely against the wall tonight with a win.
