First pitch set for Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers NLDS series

Facing a do-or-die Game 3 at Wrigley Field on Thursday, the Chicago Cubs were able to avoid a late breakdown and beat the San Diego Padres 3-1. That won the series for the Cubs as they advanced on to the NLDS and a matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers this weekend.
The Brewers were able to win the NL Central and capture the best record in the National League this season, coming back and overtaking the Cubs with a Summer push. And now, it will be a five-game series to decide it all beginning on Saturday.
Start time announced for Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers NLDS
While we knew the Chicago Cubs were advancing on after the Game 3 win, the start time was yet to be determined due to TV scheduling and the AL Wild Card between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
But with the Yankees winning that series, it’s now set in stone.
The Cubs and Brewers will begin at 1:08 p.m. central on Saturday, October 4th. The game will air on TBS.

Craig Counsell to face former team in playoffs
One of the biggest storylines in this MLB Playoffs will be Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell facing off against his former team, the Milwaukee Brewers. Counsell joined the Cubs in 2024, leaving the Brewers following an early playoff exit in 2023, losing to the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL Wild Card round.
Milwaukee returned to the playoffs in 2024 while the Counsell and the Cubs missed out.
He will also face off against Pat Murphy, his longtime bench coach in Milwaukee.
