Season-long weaknesses immediately bit the Brewers, who now face swift elimination in the NL Wild Card Series
Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series was, in most respects, the unfolding of a worst-case scenario for the Brewers.
In a game started by Corbin Burnes and featuring appearances by most of Milwaukee’s high-leverage relievers out of the bullpen, the Brewers fell to the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-3. The loss left Craig Counsell with little...
The Milwaukee Brewers lost the opening of the game of the Wild Card Series to the Arizona Diamondbacks by a score of 6-3. Ace Corbin Burnes did not pitch well, the offense put up three runs off of rookie Brandon Pfaadt but then failed to score the remainder of the game, and now they are on the brink of elimination.
YB's Jack Dougherty had a good day Tuesday with winners on D-backs moneyline (+165), Christian Walker over 0.5 RBIs (+175) and Phillies-Marlins under 7.5 (-108). Jack says let's keep it rolling Wednesday with a few more best bets for both NL Game 2s.

Here’s what the teams had to say following Game 1.
After the Brewers’ Game 1 loss to the Diamondbacks, there was plenty to discuss and look at from the game. Let’s look through it all here.
First of all, the question of who the Game 2 starter will be was answered. It will be Freddy Peralta. With the Brewers facing elimination, it makes sense to pitch Peralta in Game 2. Leaving him on the bench to not pitch would not be good if the Brewers do get...
MILWAUKEE -- Freddy Peralta, moved up a day in the rotation, will try to extend the Milwaukee Brewers' season on Wednesday. The right-hander will start in place of injured ace Brandon Woodruff as the Brewers attempt to stave off elimination against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 2 of their best-of-three National League wild-card series.

What looked like a good start by the Brewers fell apart quickly.
Box Score
The Brewers came into the 2023 Postseason and started off with a blast of energy. However, that quickly fizzled in a game where the Brewers were their own worst enemy. They gave up a 3-0 lead and fizzled on several scoring opportunities, while the Diamondbacks got to Corbin Burnes and Devin Williams as they took game one of the Wild Card Series.

The Milwaukee Brewers made some tough decisions over the final week of the regular season as they tried to align their pitching staff perfectly for the Wild Card Series that will be played against the Arizona Diamondbacks. One casualty was veteran starting pitcher Julio Teheran who was designated for assignment.
The Brewers sent righty Julio Teheran outright to Triple-A Nashville, according to the transaction log at MLB.com. Milwaukee had designated the veteran for assignment last week.
The Milwaukee Brewers are getting a kidney shot before their opening playoff series has even begun.
The Milwaukee Brewers will turn to ace right-hander Corbin Burnes when the National League Central champions host the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday in the opener of the best-of-three wild-card series.
With the Wild Card round set to commence on Tuesday, Brewers manager Craig Counsell has announced that his team will be without RHP Brandon Woodruff against the Diamondbacks, per Jesse Rogers at ESPN.
Milwaukee Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff has been ruled out for the NL Wild Card series with a shoulder injury. It is unknown if he will be able to pitch later on in the postseason if the Brewers advance past the Wild Card series.
Whether or not he can pitch later in the postseason, should the Brewers advance, remains to be seen.
Milwaukee right-hander Brandon Woodruff will not pitch in the National League wild-card series against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks due to a right shoulder injury, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said at Monday's press conference.

Brewers dealt another tough blow to their pitching in the postseason

Craig Counsell said Brandon Woodruff is out for the wild-card series with a right shoulder capsular injury.
"His availability for the postseason is up in the air at this point,"...
