Looking at espn's MLB standings for today's games and the stats they give :
Boston - Minnesota ; Boston has less than 0,1% of making the playoffs while Minnesota has 39% chances
Milwaukee - Arizona , Milwaukee is already qualified while Arizona has 93% chances
Kansas City 75% while SF is already eliminated
Baltimore 99,8% Detroit 39%
How not just take Minnesota, Arizona, Kansas and Detroit without over-thinking it ? all have decent odds of -130 or -120 ; or did i miss something ?
And to your point, it looks like Milwaukee has been drunk since they qualified for the playoffs. They have certainly mailed it in during this four game series with Arizona. They've lost the first three, and yesterday's game was a shutout. Have they sobered up to avoid the sweep? Is this play indicative of their playoff results? Ask the Dodgers about coasting into the playoffs with a "fresh" team. An early exit most likely awaits.
Brewers only team in MLB without a 4-game losing streak this year. Today we see if they join all the others! Snakes have won 6 straight in Milwaukee, with the Brewers only scoring 11 runs in those 6. Snakes with 4th worst pitching in baseball, to put that in perspective, the bottom 3 are 159 games under .500
and they just don't hit at home against them.
Muts and Snakes tied for last wildcard (Braves 2 back and don't seem to have enough to sneak in). Last wildcard plays in Milwaukee on October 1st for three games. Brewers kind of control who they play as they end the season with 3 at home vs. Muts. I'd say they rather have Muts/Braves and no Snakes, so I see them throwing another game today
