Heading into a playoff series, you can’t tell much — if anything — from the previous meetings between the two teams involved.
That might especially be the case for the Milwaukee Brewers and Atlanta Braves, who were completely different teams the first two times they met, and have even been more different since.
The first series between these two teams came B.A. (Before Adames). The Brewers’ offense was legitimately one of the worst in the league, while Atlanta had Ronald Acuna, Jr. putting together the makings of a possible MVP run.
The second series was shortly after Atlanta lost Acuna for the year on a freak ACL injury, and as they were in the middle of totally revamping their roster at the trade deadline.
