The Brewers rebounded nicely from their first series loss in more than three weeks last weekend, taking 2 of 3 from the Cincinnati Reds in a largely stress-free series. Next, the Brewers get a chance for some revenge against the Pittsburgh Pirates -- and, with some help, they can even possibly clinch a playoff spot.
The Magic Number for guaranteeing a playoff spot is down to 6, meaning if the Brewers can somehow sweep the Pirates in a stadium that’s once again become a House of Horrors and the Rockies get swept themselves, the Brewers could finish no worse than in the second wildcard spot.
