Cubs Brewers Face First MLB Postseason NLDS Clash October 4

The Chicago Cubs will face the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Division Series (NLDS) beginning Saturday, October 4, marking the first-ever postseason meeting between these division rivals. The Cubs advanced to this best-of-five series after a 3-1 victory over the San Diego Padres in a decisive Wild Card game, with fans expressing strong confidence and excitement about their team's chances. The Brewers, who secured the best regular-season record in Major League Baseball, will host Game 1 at American Family Field at 1:08 p.m. Central Time, a schedule finalized after the conclusion of the Yankees-Red Sox Wild Card game. A key storyline is Cubs manager Craig Counsell facing his former team, the Brewers, adding an intense personal dimension to the series. Both teams have battled fiercely during the regular season, and with only 90 miles separating their stadiums, the rivalry is especially fierce as they compete for National League supremacy and a spot in the Championship Series. The series is set to be broadcast on TBS, with further games scheduled if necessary.
