Chicago took the season series - but it's not quite as simple as that.
There won’t be many surprises when the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers open the National League Division Series Saturday at American Family Field.
The two division rivals have already played 13 times in 2025, the Cubs winning the season series seven games to six. And as everyone knows, Cubs manager Craig Counsell used to manage the Brewers when his top aide was current Brewers skipper Pat Murphy.
Throw in the natural rivalry produced by the geographic fact that only 90 miles separates the two rivals and it’s hard to envision anything happening over the next week that hasn’t already occurred.
