To say this is a must-win series against the Cubs this weekend would be an understatement. The Milwaukee Brewers sit seven games back in the NL Central and four games back of the Cubs in the wild card race.
Four games against the Cubs at home is an ideal opportunity to make up some ground. Last year, the Brewers had six games against the Cubs in the final month and entered them behind by five games. They won four of the six, took some momentum into the final few weeks, and overtook the Cubs. They’re going to need that to happen again this year.
