The Milwaukee Brewers' Game 1 destruction of the Chicago Cubs certainly put them in the driver's seat of the NLDS, though Craig Counsell's squad won't be going down without a fight.
Including that NLDS contest, the two NL Central rivals have played each other to an even 7-7 this season, and yesterday's off-day certainly favored the Cubs, who have played three more games than the Brewers this postseason, and needed something to break the Brew Crew's momentum.
That said, the off day did allow both teams to take a closer look at their pitching strategy for Game 2, pouring over matchups and deciding which arm at the beginning of the game gives them the best chance to win the late-night tilt in Milwaukee.
