The Brewers haven’t clinched the NL Central title yet, but it appears they will soon. With a 92-56 record, Milwaukee has a 10-game lead over the second place Chicago Cubs.
The Brewers have the best record in all of baseball. If the season ended today, they’d have a first-round bye, placing them in the National League Division Series.
Milwaukee will wrap up its series against Cincinnati on Sunday afternoon. After a day off on Monday, the club will begin a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park on Tuesday.
