The Brewers wrap up a tough stretch against Los Angeles and Texas in first place; Reds and Cubs jockeying for second; Pirates and Cardinals float in the bottom of the division.
1. Milwaukee Brewers (67-57, - GB)
After a tough series against the Dodgers, the Brewers’ run differential has fallen to just a +1. Still, Milwaukee has held serve at the top of the division since the break. Even when things look bleak for the Crew, they’ve managed to keep the competition at bay; or maybe the competition has kept itself at bay.
