San Diego Padres vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 10/7/26, 1:25 PM  by Sarah Lou Jones in MLB Picks

Milwaukee Brewers need one more victory in their MLB National League Division Series with San Diego Padres to book their spot in the Championship Series. The Brewers currently lead the Series 2-1 after winning the first two games 3-2 and 4-3. Two close games for sure, and The Pads brought themselves right back into the series in another tight game last time out, winning 4-3. This has been an exhilarating Series so far and we're excited to see if The Pads can take it to a fifth game or if the Brewers can clinch their Championship Series spot here.

Milwaukee won 103 games during the regular season, more than any other MLB side. They're second-favorites to reach, and win, the eventual World Series but first they'll need to defeat San Diego Padres once more.

For our prediction, we think San Diego will take this to a fifth game. The Brewers' postseason record on the road in recent years doesn't make for good reading. The Pads eased past Chicago Cubs in the Wild Card Round and had a 51-30 home record in the regular season. While we think the Brewers will eventually win the Series, for us The Pads will level the Series here.
