Milwaukee doesn't have those questions. The Brewers won 103 games and took both games at home the way good teams do in October. In Game 2, San Diego led 3 separate times on just 5 hits, and Milwaukee came back every time. The last comeback came down to its final strike, when Jackson Chourio lined a 2-run, 2-out single off Miller with the bases loaded to walk it off. The Brewers' problem is nothing has come easy. Both of their wins were by 1 run, and so was their loss.
The Padres showed in Game 3 what they need to do again. Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado each drove in a run in the 2nd inning. Jake Cronenworth broke a 2-2 tie with a solo homer. Xander Bogaerts scored the 4th run on a broken-bat grounder that Milwaukee threw away. That's not a lineup running anybody over. It's a lineup that scrapes out 4 runs and needs the pitching to hold up. It did on Tuesday, but King can't throw 6 high-leverage outs every night.
Milwaukee's injured list is mostly old news. Brandon Woodruff is still waiting to get cleared to throw off a mound, and Quinn Priester and Angel Zerpa have been out for months. The Brewers have played this whole series without them. San Diego's list is the one that changed this week, with Miller and Sheets both new on it. It's 78 degrees and clear with barely any wind, so the weather won't help either side. If the Padres' starter goes 6 innings, this probably comes down to 1 run again. If he doesn't, Milwaukee gets to work against a bullpen that's running out of arms.
