What We Know About The Brewers vs. Cubs NLDS Game
The Brewers will turn to Freddy Peralta in Game 1. Peralta has been one of their most reliable starters all year, posting a 17-6 record with a 2.70 ERA and over 200 strikeouts. At home, he has been even better, going 9-1 with an ERA under 2. His ability to work deep into games will be key against a Cubs lineup that thrives on wearing pitchers down. The bullpen, which carried the Cubs past the Padres, will again play a huge role in trying to slow down Milwaukee’s bats.
The Cubs have not yet confirmed their starter, but they could go with either Colin Rea or Javier Assad. Rea finished the season with an 11-7 record and a 3.95 ERA, and he has been especially sharp lately, giving up only one walk over his last 23 innings. Assad also impressed in his outings, with a 4-1 record and a 3.65 ERA.
Talking about offense, Christian Yelich and William Contreras will be the leading players at the plate. Yelich is batting .264 this season with a team-high 29 home runs, while Contreras has a slugging percentage of .399 this season.
For the Cubs, Pete Crow-Armstrong will not just be key at the plate but also in defense. Kyle Tucker, who is set to hit free agency after the conclusion of this season, will also be a player to watch with the lumber.
