At this rate the Brewers might clinch before they get back home next weekend.

 

They can only clinch a tie, which I guess is clinching, but to me clinching is the outright win. So they will clinch against either the Cubs or the Cardinals almost certainly. At home. Which is awesome all around.

They could clinch if they win the two against the Tigers while the Reds and Cards get swept by the Pirates and Mets. Probably won’t happen.

 

I am still hoping that the magic number will be at 1 when we go to the game against the Cubs next Sunday. That isn’t out of the question: 2 wins by the Brewers and 2 losses by the Reds and Cards gets there. The best case would be the Brewers winning the next 4 while the Reds win their next 5 to improve their Wild Card standing and the Cards lose as many as possible.

Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

We only play 2 games before Friday. Even if we win both, still would need 3 losses in 4 days from the Reds. Certainly not impossible. I would prefer we clinch while at home. It's just a little more fun that way. Clinching on an off day just feels wrong.

 

Reds and Cardinals only play 3 times each before Friday. The would both have to get swept along with the Brewers winning both games. Extremely unlikely to have the correct result in 8 different games.
