A week ago, this series looked a lot different on paper, perhaps even the series where the Cardinals would start putting the nail in the Brewers’ NL Central hopes.
Now, after 7 straight wins, not only are the Brewers back at the top of the race for the second wildcard, but they’re potentially a good weekend in St. Louis away from making another run at a division title at just 4 games back.
That’s despite the Cardinals being one of the hottest teams in baseball in the second half of the season, outside of a bump in the road in Colorado this week.
