Chicago Cubs Stave Off Elimination, But Can They Stop Brewers from Sealing NLDS Fate in Game 4?

So here we are, folks — the Chicago Cubs, scrapping their way off the mat with a gritty 4-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3, dodging a sweep for now. But let’s ask the real question: can they really keep this up when the Brewers, with Freddy Peralta ready to flex that pitching muscle again, come knocking at Wrigley Field for Game 4? Michael Busch’s leadoff homer was a spark, sure, but Milwaukee’s firepower and that bullpen depth — well, it might just be too much to handle over a full series stretch. And don’t get me started on Boyd’s 2025 numbers against Milwaukee — those stats don’t lie, and Peralta’s got the edge. Postseason baseball distills down to pitching battles and durability; the Brewers seem to have the clearer path here. As someone who’s banked on the Brew Crew all season (and regrettably forgot to bet them for the pennant), I’m leaning in “house money” style for Thursday. Do you think the Cubs have the magic left in that 1-2 tank, or is Milwaukee just cruising toward glory? Sit tight — it’s about to get interesting. LEARN MORE.
