Looking at the Brewers
Milwaukee has consistently kept pace with the Dodgers throughout the season, and while this four-game series won’t decide anything, it should give us a good preview of how the two teams stack up against each other.
Both teams rank among the favorites, along with the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs, to come out of the National League.
The Brewers are coming off a sweep at the hands of the San Diego Padres and now hold just a 3.0-game lead over the Cubs for first place in the NL Central with 41 games remaining.
