A leadoff home run from Chicago Cubs first baseman Michael Busch in the top of the first inning appeared to set an ominous tone for the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 1 of the NLDS. But Freddy Peralta slammed the door on Chicago the rest of that inning and handed it to the Brewers offense with only a one-run deficit. It was just a surgical dismantling from the Brewers offense: Chicago needed three pitchers (three!) The Brewers scored 16 total runs in the playoffs during Craig Counsell’s last 5 years in Milwaukee. The Cubs' offense is the real deal.
