In 1969, the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers — who were the Seattle Pilots for one season — were founded as MLB expansion teams.
Now, 58 short years later, the perennial National League contenders are meeting in the postseason for the first time.
On Saturday, Oct. 3, the best-of-five NLDS will get underway at Milwaukee’s American Family Field with the Brewers’ ace and Cy Young favorite Jacob Misiorowski (16-5, 1.80 ERA) on the hill.
Following a two-game stint in the Cream City, the series will move to SoCal for a pair of contests at San Diego’s PETCO Park. They’re slated to take place:
Game 3
Tuesday, Oct. 6
Game 4
Wednesday, Oct. 7
If you’d like to be there, tickets are available for both high-stakes hypothetical San Diego showdowns.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for either game was $121 including fees on Vivid Seats.
Prices start at $99 including fees for the three potential meetings in Milwaukee.
Before this series, the Padres got revenge against the Chicago Cubs in the Wild Card round, sweeping MVP hopeful Pete Crow-Armstrong’s club at home after losing to them in three games to open the playoffs last year.
“They’re playing great baseball right now,” San Diego manager Craig Stammen said about his club.
Next up, they have a tall task taking on MLB’s winningest team in 2026.
Oddsmakers project the Brewers are -180 favorites going into the NLDS.
Yet, it should be factored in that San Diego took four of their six meetings over the course of the regular season including a clutch 4-3, eleven-inning victory on Aug. 12.
Is this the year that one of these two clubs finally gets over the hump and returns to the World Series?
While we can’t say for certain we do know that their first-ever postseason meeting with some of the game’s hardest flamethrowers in Misiorowski and Mason Miller should be downright electric.
Don’t miss this one. We just might have an instant classic on our hands.
