The Milwaukee Brewers did not put together a strong regular season performance against the San Diego Padres this year, but more context is needed when looking at the two team's season series.
The Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres are set to face off in the NLDS after the Padres won four of their six regular-season meetings. Milwaukee took two of three games against San Diego at home in May, but the Padres responded by sweeping a three-game series at Petco Park in mid-August. Both teams enters the postseason hot, with Milwaukee going 29-12 and San Diego posting a 25-14 record following their August series.
Reviewing the Brew's Tyler Koerth argues that Milwaukee's season series loss requires context, noting the Brewers were dealing with significant infield injuries and roster strain in August. The article highlights that pitching dynamics and bullpen usage will differ substantially in the postseason compared to earlier regular-season matchups, giving Pat Murphy's squad a different outlook for October.
