Brewers have more than one way to make the playoffs
Entering Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds (1 p.m. ET on ESPN), the Milwaukee Brewers find themselves 3 1/2 games behind the suddenly streaking Cubs in the National League Central.
But if you haven't taken a look at the NL Wild Card standings lately, suddenly the Rockies aren't the lock most thought they were earlier in the season. The Brewers find themselves just a half-game out of the second NL wild-card spot.
How they have done it
The Brewers are 13-6 in their past 19 games, the second-best record in baseball since Aug. 12. They’ve gone from 6 1/2 games back of the second wild-card spot to just a half-game back.
