THE SERIES SO FAR

The Brewers carry a 2-0 lead into Game 3 of the best-of-five NLDS against the Padres, putting them one win from clinching the series. Per the report from Ari Koslow at www.fantasypros.com, a victory Tuesday would send Milwaukee to the NLCS without needing a Game 4.

Details of how the Brewers built that lead—the scores, dates, and locations of the first two games—are not included in the source. Those specifics have not been confirmed.

What is clear is the format: the series is a best-of-five NLDS, and Game 3 is scheduled for Tuesday. The Brewers have the chance to finish the job on their home field, with May taking the mound as the closer-out.

THE STAKES

So why does this start matter so much? Because one more win on Tuesday sends the Brewers to the NLCS. May's outing is the pivotal piece in the team's bid to close out the series without needing a Game 4 or 5.
