After taking 3 of 4 from the team that has (one of) the best records in baseball, the Brewers head home to face a St. Louis Cardinals team that is still hoping to make a playoff push.
The chances of Cardinal Devil Magic making the race in the NL Central interesting are still remote, of course, but St. Louis does come into the weekend just 2.5 games behind the second wildcard spot, thanks to the San Diego Padres’ late-season slide and the Cincinnati Reds cooling off a bit.
With that said, it probably behooves the Brewers to take care of business, even if these games don’t mean much and they’re just trying to finish the year without any serious injuries.
