The Milwaukee Breweries and the Chicago Cubs will meet on the last weekend of June for a three-game series. These two teams enter this matchup in completely different places, and a series win for the Brew Crew could potentially put the Cubs on the other foot in the grave, as their 2024 season has not gone as expected.

The Milwaukee Brewers could put the other foot in the grave for the Chicago Cubs if they win the series this weekend.
Chicago was expected to take a huge step forward after missing the playoffs in 2023, returning much of its 2023 roster but adding key players like Shota Imanaga and Michael Bush and keeping tight end Craig Counsell away from the Brewers. So far, it’s been the opposite. They enter this series with one foot in the grave, and a series loss this weekend could see the other foot join them. A series loss wouldn’t mean the 2024 season is “dead” just yet, but they’d be very close.
