The 2017 season and the Brewers' postseason chances don't all come down to this weekend -- there will be more games played past Sunday, no matter what happens -- but it might feel like it after getting swept in Cincinnati.
Since the last time the Brewers were on the field, the Cubs have won twice, pushing their NL Central lead to 5 games. The Cardinals have also worked their way into a tie for second place in the division. In the wildcard standings, the Rockies managed to beat the Dodgers on Thursday to increase their lead to 3 games in that race.
