The Brewers’ magic number to clinch their second NL Central title in 4 years is down to just 3, and they have a chance to wrap things up early against the team that’s chasing them this week.
We’ll see if the Brewers need all 4 games against St. Louis to put a bow on the division.
While the division race is still pretty much settled — you have to assume SOME combination of 3 Brewers wins and Cardinals losses will happen sometime in the next two weeks — the Cardinals are hot as they have taken clear control of the NL’s second wildcard spot.
