  "account": "Dodger Stadium presents a risk as the Brewers exploit stolen bases against Dodgers' pitchers. In a recent game, Taylor Walls successfully stole second and third base, leading the reporter to coin the phrase \"being trapped at the ballpark.\" The Brewers have taken advantage of this weakness throughout the NLCS, stealing bases against Tarik Skubal, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, and Tyler Glasnow. Snell and Glasnow must improve to hold runners, or the Brewers' aggressive base running could favor their style of play. Will Smith, with a 20.4% caught-stealing rate in 2026, is not immune to the problem, and Hunter Feduccia has struggled to catch runners, with a 9.3% caught-stealing rate in 2026.",
  "summary": "Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow need to limit the walks for the Dodgers to have any hope of coming back in the NLCS.",
