This Milwaukee Breweries the magic number that will secure the National League Central Division title is one. That means a single Brewers win or Chicago Cubs loss will cause the Brew Crew to crack open the champagne and celebrate an accomplishment few believed they could achieve this year. Given Wednesday’s schedule, it’s possible the magic number will reach zero before Milwaukee takes the field.
When do the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs play on Wednesday, September 18th?
The Brewers will wrap up a three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday, with first pitch scheduled for 6:40 PM CT. Meanwhile, the Chicago Cubs will play the Oakland Athletics later in the day, with first pitch scheduled for 1:20 PM CT. That means if the Cubs lose, the Brewers will clinch the division title before playing the Phillies.
The Milwaukee Brewers have dominated the National League Central Division for the last seven years.
The Brewers have won the National League Central Division title since 2018. When they win the title in 2024, they will have won the division four times in the last seven years and three times in the last four. Milwaukee has an impressive, long string of successful baseball seasons, and this year was one of their most thrilling.
What awaits us after winning the National League Central Division title in 2024?
With the division secured, the Brewers’ next goal will be to win enough games to secure a bye in the first round of the playoffs. The two division winners will skip the Wild Card Series, and that will be determined by which two teams finish with the best overall record. Milwaukee currently trails the Los Angeles Dodgers by two games and the Phillies by four.
