The St. Louis Cardinals have been in perennial contention to win the National League Central in virtually every year since 2000. In that time span, they have had just one losing season, been to the playoffs fourteen times, gone to the World Series four times, and won two World Series Championships.
The Milwaukee Brewers don’t hold a candle to the success and history of the St. Louis Cardinals. However in recent years, the Brew Crew have challenged the Cardinals, and in many ways, outplayed them. Since 2017, Milwaukee is 36-31 against St. Louis. The Brewers have made the playoffs each of the last threes seasons and was one game away from going to the World Series in 2018.
