It doesn’t matter that the Brewers haven’t been alone in first place since July 12th.
It doesn’t matter that the Brewers have trailed the Cubs every day from August 1st to September 29th.
It doesn’t matter that the Brewers are only 8-11 against the Cubs this year.
All that matters is who wins today.
The Brewers can put all of that past them and win their first division title since 2011, and just their fourth in franchise history, with a win this afternoon at Wrigley Field.
Standing in their way is the biggest nemesis the Cubs have been able to put in front of them for the past year and a half: Jose Quintana.
