Brewers Lock In Tiebreaker Advantage | Milwaukee Brewers News

0:00It's September 8th. Welcome to Milwaukee Brewers News Today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. I'm Corey with the story. The Milwaukee Brewers took care of business against the Chicago Cubs on Monday, winning 4-3. This victory officially clinched the season series for Milwaukee, giving them the tiebreaker. They've now won seven games against the Cubs, with two more matchups left. Now, that tiebreaker might not end up meaning much. The Brewers are holding on to an 8-game lead in the in-house central. For the Cubs to even have a shot at using that tiebreaker, they need to overcome that deficit in just 17 games, which is a pretty long shot, statistically. Think about it, even if the Brewers went on a massive losing streak and the Cubs caught fire with the winning streak, it still wouldn't be enough for. Chicago, to overtake Milwaukee in the standings. The Cubs would have to not only tie the Brewers, but also surpass them in a matter of weeks, and with the tiebreaker already in Milwaukee's favor, it's. Getting highly improbable, especially when you look at who Milwaukee is sending to the

1:02mound for the final two games. Tuesday features Jacob Mizurowski, who, despite a rough outing against the Cubs earlier this month, where he gave up five runs, has been lights out. For most of the season, his last start against Chicago was an anomaly, and he's shown he can shut them down. Then on Wednesday, they've got Logan Henderson, who has been absolutely stellar all year. He's never allowed more than three runs in a game in his career, and both a solid 2.48 earned run average this season. He's definitely capable of shutting the door on any lingering hopes the Cubs might have for a division run.
