Padres at Brewers NLDS Game 1 tonight: 5:30 p.m. PT on FS1
The Padres open the NLDS in Milwaukee tonight at 5:30 p.m. Pacific on FS1, with Robbie Ray facing Jacob Misiorowski. Here is what to know.
After sweeping the Cubs, the Padres start their National League Division Series tonight in Milwaukee. First pitch is at 5:30 p.m. Pacific (8:30 p.m. Eastern) on FS1, with FOX Deportes and the FOX One app also carrying the game.
San Diego is starting left-hander Robbie Ray, the trade-deadline pickup who went 13-8 with a 3.59 ERA. MLB.com reports the choice was partly about Milwaukee's struggles against lefties. The Brewers counter with right-hander Jacob Misiorowski, who went 16-5 with a 1.80 ERA and led the majors in ERA, strikeouts (252), WHIP and opponents' batting average (.157).
Milwaukee had baseball's best regular-season record at 103 wins and is the top seed. The Padres can point to August, when they swept the Brewers. MLB.com also notes that Gavin Sheets is limited to designated hitter because of a foot issue.
The series is best of five. Games 1 and 2 are in Milwaukee, Games 3 and 4 move to Petco Park, and a Game 5 would go back to Milwaukee. Game 2 is Sunday at 1 p.m. Pacific on FS1.
FS1 is a cable channel, so if you stream your TV, check that your service includes it before game time.
A 5:30 start means dinner and first pitch line up, so plan an easy meal you can eat in front of the game.
