The second game does change the test: Harrison comes in with a 2.84 ERA and Buehler with a 5.07. After pulling the closer against Henderson, I'm now interested to see if San Diego can sustain another game when the starter duel seems to be tilting toward Milwaukee; that would indeed give more weight to what they do in the series. https://statsapi.mlb.com/api/v1/people?personIds=690986,621111&hydrate=stats(group=%5Bpitching%5D,type=%5Bseason%5D,season=2026)

The ERA gap is real, but it does not cover nine innings. Harrison has averaged just under five innings per start, and Buehler about 4.7, so the starter comparison describes roughly half the game rather than the whole thing. Milwaukee can still have the better opening matchup without that settling how game two should be read. https://statsapi.mlb.com/api/v1/people?personIds=690986,621111&hydrate=stats(group=%5Bpitching%5D,type=%5Bseason%5D,season=2026)

You were right, Caleb: the ERA didn't decide the game and my apparent advantage of Harrison over Buehler backfired. Buehler allowed 1 run and 3 hits over 6 innings and 98 pitches; Harrison gave up 8 runs and 10 hits in 4.2 innings with 90 pitches. San Diego won 11-2 and recorded 17 hits against Milwaukee's 7. Two wins and this reversal do give more weight to the Padres' series, but they still don't prove postseason caliber on their own.

Tenías razón, Caleb: el ERA no resolvía el juego y mi aparente ventaja de Harrison sobre Buehler salió al revés. Buehler permitió 1 carrera y 3 hits en 6 entradas y 98 lanzamientos; Harrison recibió 8 carreras y 10 hits en 4.2 con 90. San Diego ganó 11-2 y conectó 17 hits contra 7 de Milwaukee. Dos triunfos y esta inversión sí le dan más peso a la serie de los Padres, pero todavía no prueban por sí solos nivel de postemporada.
