Things are about to get interesting for Craig Counsell.

The current manager of the Chicago Cubs previously played for the team from 2007 to 2011, and he spent time managing the Milwaukee Brewers from 2015 to 2023.

Beginning Saturday, October 4th, the 55-year-old will face off against his former team, which has secured the best record in MLB for this season after the “Blue Bears” triumphed over the San Diego Padres in a thrilling three-game wildcard series.

Let’s break down the crucial details for this NL Central NLDS matchup, which marks the first playoff meeting between these clubs:
