If the playoffs started today, the Milwaukee Brewers would have to watch the Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals play for the NL Wild Card. Wasn’t this team in first place in July?
How bad is it really?
Well, it’s not good. The Milwaukee Brewers are 3-7 in their last 10 games, and have lost three in a row. They have won five out of 15 in August. They are 1/2 game out of the second Wild Card, and 4 1/2 games behind the Chicago Cubs for the NL Central. None of this is good on August 18th.
