A 7-6 start for the Brewers feels perhaps a little disappointing for some. That’s probably to be expected after losing a couple of games in the late innings, but the previous 9-game Cardinals-Cubs-Cardinals stretch was the team’s first true test of the year, and they were able to get through the other side of it above .500 despite injuries starting to pile up.
Things don’t necessarily get easier this weekend in New York, but at least there’s a softer schedule on the other side.
The Mets are, improbably, 10-1 heading into this series.
