The Brewers, for all their limitations, swept their season series vs. L.A. and won an MLB-high 97 games, earning the No. 1 seed in the National League.<\/p>\n<p>Whether Milwaukee&#8217;s run of success can continue against a Dodgers team full of superstars remains to be seen.

They can stop a rally with a well-timed dive or make something out of nothing on offense by beating slow grounders and always taking the extra base.
