2020-09-26: Brewers (Woodruff) at Cardinals (Wainwright) [Brewers win, 3-0 -- Woodruff pitches masterpiece; No Cardinals batter touches second base]

Also of note that the Cardinals still have something to play for tomorrow as they have NOT clinched. So while teams like the Giants are drawing opponents with nothing to play for, our opponent still does. They likely wouldn't if they had already had their series against Detroit.

 

Just another subtle way in which the Cardinals COVID outbreak has actually affected US negatively rather than them. (Us losing a home game being another)

 

The Cardinals did have to play 10 doubleheaders to make up those games, so it isn't like they've gotten off totally easy.

538 now has the Brewers at 65%, Giants at 25% (they need 2 tossup games to go their way) and Phillies at 14%.

The opponents have had to play those doubleheader too. I don't know what the Cardinals' record has been in their doubleheader games but I believe it's been overwhelmingly on the positive side for them.

Based on how this season has gone I expect 100% to be let down tomorrow. It's not that I don't think we can win but it feels like we have been given hope about 20 times this season only to have it taken away every time, so I am trying not to get my hopes up.

[sarcasm]At least we are only trying to reach 500 and not go above 500, because then we would be doomed.[/sarcasm]

It is very hard for anyone who has followed every game not to expect that the most likely outcome today is another one of those games in which the Brewers fall behind early while generating almost no offense and go down to a dreary defeat by a score like 4-0.

 

But, at least they have a chance, including the possibility that the Giants and Phillies will both lose.

All the Brewers have to do is beat a team that has been tormenting them for the past 38 years. Gee I wonder how this is going to end?
