CBS Sports Picks Dodgers in 4, Brewers in 5 in 2026 MLB Division Series

3 articles · Updated · CBS Sports · Oct 2

Summary

  • Four CBS Sports experts unanimously picked the Dodgers to beat the Braves, with three forecasting a 4-game win and one a sweep in 3.
  • Los Angeles drew the strongest backing because its healthy, ace-level rotation and deeper offense contrast with an Atlanta staff taxed by the Wild Card round.
  • The Yankees were favored by 3 of 4 experts over the Rays, mostly in 4 or 5 games, while the White Sox took 3 of 4 picks against the Guardians despite Cleveland being the betting favorite at -140.
  • Brewers-Padres was the tightest call: Milwaukee earned 3 of 4 expert picks, all in 5 games, as analysts weighed the Brewers' rotation depth against San Diego's hot form and elite bullpen.
