The Brewers are making history by making the playoffs in back-to-back years for the first time since 1982, but their opponent in the NL Wild Card game is also looking to make history themselves.
The Washington Nationals, famously after several very public heartbreaks, have never won a playoff series. Whether you consider the Wild Card game a series or not (and the grammar stickler in me wants to scream BY DEFINITION ONE GAME CANNOT BE A SERIES, WORDS HAVE MEANINGS, but I digress), it’s hard to ignore that as one of the potential intangible factors in this game.
