What jumps out: The Brewers aren’t going anywhere any time soon it seems, especially after taking two of three games from the Rockies at Coors Field over the weekend. However, Milwaukee’s finishing schedule is anything but easy.

The Brewers are the only team of the bunch to face the current three National League division leaders down the stretch (at the Dodgers, home against Washington and a home-and-home with the Cubs). They also end the season with three games at St. Louis, a team they could potentially be battling for not only a Wild Card spot but potentially the National League Central title as well.

Milwaukee may have the lowest postseason odds of any of the teams we have highlighted in this article. However, as they showed at 20^th and Blake over the weekend, the Brewers can be a dangerous team. And, all it takes is for a team playing really good baseball as October dawns to throw some wrenches in everyone’s best guesses and plans.
