Blue Jays topple Yankees 10-1 in ALDS Game 1, seizing early momentum and cruising behind a balanced attack as Toronto takes a 1-0 lead in the series. The lopsided win signals a swift path for fantasy managers to chase exposure to the Jays lineup, especially in daily formats where run support and leverage spots can swing quickly.

Milwaukee’s NLDS opener delivered a pounding, 9-3, with Jackson Chourio going 3-for-3 and driving in three across the first two innings before leaving with a hamstring tightness. The Brewers jumped out to a 9-1 edge early, Peralta tying a playoff strikeout mark with nine. The Cubs battled back some, but Milwaukee’s depth and discipline set the tone for the series.

Dodgers slid past the Phillies 5-3 as Teoscar Hernandez delivered a pivotal three-run homer, and Ohtani worked six innings with nine strikeouts, easing playoff nerves. Los Angeles leaned on a bullpen quartet, including Vesia and Sasaki, to close it out while Realmuto clanged a two-run triple for Philadelphia. The night underscored the two-way impact of Ohtani and the Dodgers’ depth for fantasy leaguers.

Milwaukee jumped out to a dominant start, scoring six in the first inning as Jackson Chourio delivered a two-run single to cap the frame and Milwaukee cruised to a 9-3 win over Chicago in Game 1 of the NLDS. The Brewers piled 13 hits with no homers, leaning on scrappy contact and timely hits to pressure Counsell’s Cubs. Freddy Peralta worked 5 2/3 innings with nine strikeouts, tying a team playoff record, while Chourio left early with right hamstring tightness and an MRI looms.

The Cubs answered with three solo homers from Michael Busch, Ian Happ and Nico Hoerner, but Milwaukee answered early and often, extending the lead and riding a potent, run-suppressing approach that carried the regular season. The atmosphere in Milwaukee felt like a home game for the Brewers as crowd energy and in-game execution supported the surge, even as Chourio’s health became the focal point moving forward.

Chourio’s injury updates will dominate the narrative ahead of Game 2 Monday, with Pat Murphy calling the potential issue “could be devastating” before the ace rookie expressed optimism about his readiness. Milwaukee will lean on its depth and the same gritty approach as it heads into the rest of the series, while Chicago must regroup and reimagine its offense without relying on the long ball alone.

A Cubs relief gem changed the NLDS Game 1 mood as Aaron Civale delivered 4 1/3 scoreless innings to steady Chicago’s lanky bullpen after an early Brewers onslaught. He faced Milwaukee’s lineup with calm attack, saving the arms for later as the Cubs mounted a mini-rally behind three homers from Busch, Happ and Hoerner. Peralta fought through early trouble, but Civale’s work kept Chicago in the series and highlighted the bullpen’s bounce-back potential.

The narrative intertwined Civale’s cross-team history with key performances from Brown on the mound and from Chicago’s offense, setting the stage for a tightly contested rest-of-series as both clubs readjust on off days and chase momentum.

Milwaukee exploded for six runs in the bottom of the first off Matthew Boyd, turning Chicago’s leadoff homer into a one-sided NLDS opener. Hoerner’s miscue helped fuel four unearned runs as the Brewers surged ahead and never really let go.

The Cubs scratched back with solo shots from Ian Happ and Hoerner, but Jackson Chourio opened the early onslaught with three hits in two frames. Chicago bullpen pressure mounted after three straight playoff games, while Aaron Civale’s 4 1/3 scoreless innings offered a rare Cubs bright spot as Milwaukee cruised to a 9-3 win.

Milwaukee holds a firm edge heading into the off day, leveraging a relentless lineup and timely relief to seize control of the series.

The Cubs edged the Padres 3-1 at Wrigley in a wild-card clincher, sparked by Dansby Swanson’s glove and a jubilant clubhouse embrace. Crow-Armstrong blossomed into a centerpiece as Happ, Suzuki and the rest fed off the energy, delivering a champagne-soaked celebration that ended Chicago’s postseason drought and set up a NLDS with Milwaukee.
