Padres’ chances of Dodgers rematch just dropped after getting royally screwed vs. Brewers

The San Diego Padres suffered a 3-2 defeat against the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 1 of the NLDS after a bizarre ninth-inning incident. Ty France hit a towering fly ball that hit a roof cable at American Family Field, redirecting into Jackson Chourio's glove for an out. According to stadium ground rules, the ball remained live, extinguishing a potential go-ahead two-run home run and giving Milwaukee a 1-0 series advantage.

Dodgers Way argues this bizarre turn significantly lowers the probability of a Dodgers-Padres rematch in the NLCS. While San Diego initially led 2-0, Milwaukee rallied behind a seventh-inning solo home run from William Contreras. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Dodgers won their NLDS opener 5-3 against the Atlanta Braves behind home runs from Teoscar Hernández and Kyle Tucker.
