Story summary
The Brewers are set for a crucial Game 3 against the Padres in the NLDS at Petco Park. Despite starting strong in Games 1 and 2 with early leads, San Diego has struggled to maintain their advantage, leading them into Game 3 with their season on the line. The Padres, now -130 favorites according to Fanatics Sportsbook, aim to even the series against the Brewers, who have emerged victorious recently thanks to rookie Jackson Chourio's performance. Dustin May, acquired by Milwaukee at the trade deadline from the Dodgers and Cardinals, will pitch for the Brewers in Game 3 but faces a tough road with a season ERA of 5.88 after struggling on away fields this year.
