The NL Central rivals will meet for the 18th time this season, with Chicago holding the 9-8 edge head-to-head so far. More important, considering the way the series has unfolded, the game will be played in Milwaukee. The home team is 4-0 in the series.
Striking first also has proven valuable, with the Cubs riding the momentum from first-inning outbursts to wins in Game 3 and 4 after the Brewers made a series-opening statement with six runs their first time to the plate in Game 1.
The pitching plans for both teams Saturday figure to come down to the simple postseason mantra: all hands on deck.
Who will move on to face the Dodgers in the next round? Here’s how to watch all the action Saturday as the NL Division Series reaches its conclusion:
