Σαν Ντιέγκο Παντρες — Μιλγουόκι Μπρουερς

The Padres survived on timely contact and sharp defense. With another elimination game ahead, the Brewers' rested relief arms offer the steadier route through the late innings.

The market treats this elimination clash as a coin flip, giving entirely too much weight to San Diego's desperation. With a taxed bullpen backing a rusty starter, the home side is walking a tightrope without a net.
