The second half of the season begins tonight, and the Brewers are hot. They’re riding a seven-game winning streak, the longest streak in the majors after the Red Sox lost to the Cubs earlier today. Their 56-40 record is the third-best in the National League and tied for fourth-best in all of baseball.
However, they will have a challenge to start the second half as they travel to face the Dodgers. The Dodgers have a 58-39 record, tied for the best in the National League with the Cubs (who tied them with that win over Boston earlier today).
