Brewers to Start Dustin May in NLDS Game 3
The Milwaukee Brewers have announced that Dustin May will start in Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday. May was acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals in a trade, despite struggling in his previous appearances. The Padres will counter with Nick Pivetta, who has been on the mend after a codo injury.
Neutral
The Brewers are looking to maintain their 1-0 lead in the series, while the Padres aim to level the score. May's past performances against the Padres will be crucial in determining the outcome of the game. The matchup between May and Pivetta promises to be an intriguing one.
Positive
The Brewers' decision to start May could pay off if he can replicate his previous success against the Padres. May's experience in the postseason, including a stint with the 2020 World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers, could give him an edge. The Padres' return to form with Pivetta could also be a positive development for the team.
Negative
May's recent struggles, including allowing seven runs in his last three appearances, raise concerns about his ability to perform under pressure. The Padres' injury woes, including Pivetta's codo issue, could impact their chances of winning the series. The Brewers' decision to start May may also be seen as a risk, given his past performances.
