The Milwaukee Brewers could be eliminated tonight (Tuesday) from the National League Central race, even if they beat Cincinnati at Miller Park. The Chicago Cubs only need to win at Saint Louis this (Tuesday) evening to clinch their second straight division crown — and the Cubs reduced their magic number to one Monday night with a 10-2 romp of the Redbirds while Milwaukee was idle. The Brewers can still make the playoffs if they pass Colorado for the second and final National League Wild Card — and Milwaukee got to within one and a half games of that spot after the Rockies lost at home to Miami 5-4 on Monday night. Zach Davies will start against Cincinnati’s Deck McGuire, as the Brewers begin their final home series of the year. The rebuilding Brewers have surprised fans with their success — and at 82-74, they’re guaranteed of their first winning season since 2014.
