Well, well, well, who would’ve thought the Milwaukee Brewers would be sitting here on September 24th? With five games to go, the Crew’s magic number is down to one after their victory over the Reds on Tuesday night and the Cubs subsequent loss to the Pirates.
With the next Brewers win or Cubs loss, the Crew will secure a spot in the postseason. The clinching can happen as early as Wednesday night in Cincinnati.
While the team won’t be celebrating the clinching at home, since the rest of their games are on the road, the fact that they can even clinch a playoff spot at all is a near miracle.
