  "account": "The Dodgers' quest for a historic three-peat in only their second attempt in 26 years is faltering, and the ticket resale market reflects that shift. The National League Championship Series heads to Los Angeles for Game 3 at Dodger Stadium, where the Brewers lead 2-0 after two nail-biting games at American Family Field. Milwaukee fought back from early deficits in both contests, giving the Dodgers their largest postseason series deficit since being swept by Arizona in 2023. As fan confidence wanes, ticket prices on the resale market have plummeted. The cost to attend Game 3 has dropped 42% to $97 per ticket, compared to Monday's $150. Tickets for Thursday's Game 4 have also decreased 37% to $98 since the last three days. Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the team's focus on winning Wednesday's game, stating, \"We've just got to win. It's not the position we expected to be in. They've earned those two wins. We've got to win. So I don't think it's any more simple than that.\" The Dodgers, the most-attended team in MLB for the past 13 years, fill their massive stadium, so this decreased ticket market is significant. Brewers fans, however, are optimistic about their team's chance of reaching their first World Series since 1982. The resale price for a potential World Series Game 1 in Milwaukee on October 23 stands at $1,122, up 2% from Monday. On betting markets, the Brewers have a 74% implied probability of winning the NLCS. The Dodgers' woes stem in part from designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, who has not pitched since early July and has been dealing with injuries to his right bicep and left knee. Ohtani, who has struggled at the plate throughout the postseason with a .150 batting average and no extra-base hits, downplays his injuries and says he will support himself with belief in himself. Despite the challenges, the Dodgers plan to include Ohtani in Wednesday's lineup, with Manager Roberts affirming their belief in the player.",
