Following the Brewers 7-3 homestand and 10-3 recent record, their situation for the postseason is very encouraging. They have built up an 11-game lead in the NL Central and are a near lock to win the NL Central at this point. FanGraphs have them at a 98.6% chance to win the Central and 99% chance to make the postseason. Baseball-Reference is even higher at a 99.5% chance for the division and 99.7% for the playoffs. With the division nearly locked up, it may be time for the Brewers to set their sights a little higher.
While the division isn’t guaranteed at this point, it would take not only a collapse by the Brewers, but also a historic run from one of the teams below them.
