The Chicago Cubs (92-70, 52-32 home, 42-39 away) punched their ticket to the 2025 NLDS with a 3-1 win over San Diego, and will now face the MLB-best Milwaukee Brewers (97-65, 52-29 home, 45-36 away) in an all-NL Central best-of-five series.
The Cubs went 7-6 against Milwaukee in the regular season, and were one of just four NL teams with a winning record against the league leaders. But Milwaukee has opened as a sizable favorite in the Cubs vs Brewers NLDS odds.
