I have neither time nor energy for anything other than the most basic column, which is probably best for both of us. Rather than skip this entry entirely, I thought it best to keep it going just for the sake of having a running log through the rest of the season. Heading into their matchup this weekend at Wrigley, the Cubs and Brewers are running neck and neck for the division lead.
They’re also possessed of nearly identical postseason odds, with the Brewers’ 60.2% edging out their neighbors to the south by two-tenths of a point. Those odds were reversed when I began this post, so I suppose it’s a good thing FanGraphs updated them at the right time.
