If records hold true and logic prevails (a big if), the Milwaukee Brewers are on a collision course for an NLCS matchup against either the San Francisco Giants or the Los Angeles Dodgers. It’s not a new position for the Brewers, who have the NL’s third-best record and perhaps its cleanest path to a showdown for the pennant. They took the Dodgers to Game 7 in the 2018 NLCS, and are on track to make their fourth consecutive postseason.
Craig Counsell’s team is plundering the NL Central with a new formula, though — one that could make them a scarier sight in October.
