Milwaukee has 99 wins and four regular-season games remaining, three against St. Louis this weekend. The Brewers are chasing their first 100-win season; the magic number for the No. 1 overall seed is two, counting Milwaukee wins and Dodgers losses.
The probable starters are Robert Gasser vs. Michael McGreevy on Friday, Sept. 25 (6:40 p.m.); Dustin May vs. Quinn Mathews on Saturday (6:10 p.m.); and Jacob Misiorowski vs. Andre Pallante on Sunday (2:10 p.m.). All three games are listed on Brewers TV and the Brewers Radio Network, including 620 WTMJ in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee's staff has a 3.53 ERA, second in MLB, compared with St. Louis' 4.26, ranked 21st. Brewers relievers Grant Anderson and Bryse Wilson could be activated for Thursday's Philadelphia finale; Brian Fitzpatrick, Angel Zerpa and Quinn Priester are out for the season, while Brandon Woodruff has a slim chance to return in the postseason. Everson Pereira was on a rehab assignment and was the only listed Cardinal who might play this weekend; Hunter Dobbins and Max Rajcic are out for the year. The preview predicts Milwaukee will win two of three.
