The first game of this series is the Cubs’ 33rd game of 2024. It’s their first game against an NL Central opponent. That’s the longest into a season the Cubs have gone without meeting a divisional opponent since divisional play began in 1969.
Further, the Cubs are the only team that has not yet faced a divisional opponent.
The balanced schedule sucks. Go back to the unbalanced schedule.

I think most Brewers fans would be happy with how the season has turned out thus far for the Crew.
