The Cubs and Brewers have been the class of the National League for most of the year and neither team has disappointed in September. The Cubs managed to go 18-10 during a period of thirty days in a row where they were scheduled to play without an off day, far exceeding anyone’s expectations for that stretch. The Brewers have gone 18-7 in September and with yesterday’s 6-5 win over the Tigers they tied the Cubs for first place in the NL Central. That’s an impressive run considering they were 4½ games back on September 1.
