MLB's revealed postseason schedule rewards Brewers' starting pitching depth

The Milwaukee Brewers acquired right-hander Dustin May from the St. Louis Cardinals at the trade deadline and have developed rookie Logan Henderson into a playoff-caliber starter, giving them four strong pitching options. MLB's 2026 postseason schedule features fewer off-days in the Divisional Series than last year, with games running October 3-9 with only two rest days instead of three. This compressed schedule means starting pitchers will have just three days of rest between potential starts in Games 1 and 4, or Games 2 and 5, giving teams with deeper rotations like the Brewers a competitive advantage.
