Brewers stray from NLDS strategy with Game 3 starting pitcher assignment in NLCS

Manager Pat Murphy initially chose Dustin May for Game 3 of the NLDS against San Diego, prioritizing postseason experience over Robert Gasser's superior consistency and recent performance. After May struggled in that game while Gasser impressed in Game 4, Murphy reversed course and named Gasser the Game 3 starter for the NLCS. Since late August, Gasser has allowed no more than two earned runs in any start and the Brewers have won seven of his last eight outings.
