Brewers vs Padres NLDS: 3 ways Milwaukee can advance to the next round

The Big Lead outlines three tactical keys for the Milwaukee Brewers to defeat the San Diego Padres in the NLDS. After finishing 103-59 to secure home-field advantage throughout the postseason, Milwaukee hosts Game 1 at American Family Field against a Padres team fresh off a Wild Card sweep of the Chicago Cubs.

According to writer Chris Trant, Milwaukee must utilize secondary pitches alongside high-velocity arms like Jacob Misiorowski, score early to avoid San Diego closer Mason Miller, and pressure the Padres' infield defense with disciplined contact hitting and aggressive baserunning.
