It’s make or break time for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Up until this point in the season, the Brewers have stayed within a punchers shot of the National League Playoffs. Despite some rough runs of form, particularly in parts of June through the beginning of July, the Brewers have largely kept themselves to within two to three games of the NL Wild Card, and the NL Central’s top spot.
What makes this stretch important?
This 12-game stretch that the Milwaukee Brewers began last night will likely be decisive for their season. With just 37 games left, they’re running out of time to make up the ground they’d need to make up if they’re going to make it to the post-season in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1981-82.
