Reliever Scott Effross was activated off the injured list on Thursday. More importantly, they are getting healthier first baseman Anthony Rizzo, relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman and starting pitcher Luis Severino all returned to play in recent days. The Yankees have somewhat straightened themselves out following a pretty poor second half of the season. Here’s a primer of what’s at stake this weekend on the diamond. The division races haven’t been too compelling, but there is still a lot to sort out with the wild cards in each league. The Brewers still need to win as many games as they can, but even if they win all their remaining games, as long as the teams ahead of them such as the Cardinals and the Phillies also win, it won’t be enough to get the Crew into the postseason for the 5th straight year.Įven if the Crew goes 3-0 the rest of the way, the Phillies have to go 0-3 to finish out the year for Milwaukee to sneak into Wild Card position.We are heading into the penultimate weekend of the 2022 MLB regular season. They need to rely on other teams, most importantly Philadelphia, to lose in order to gain a playoff spot. Any loss is a killer at this point in the season.īecause of where they sit in the standings, the Brewers do not control their own destiny. Two games back with 3 to play is a nearly insurmountable task. This race is still in play as the Phillies have not played well over the past week or so. Milwaukee needs to win out and Philadelphia needs to lose out in their respective final series. If the Brewers lose or the Phillies win a combination of 1 games over the remainder of the year, then the Brewers are eliminated. The Brewers trail the Philadelphia Phillies for the third and final wild card spot this year. The Brewers elimination magic number for the NL Wild Card race is currently: 0 *as of 10/3/22 with 2 games remaining It was practically an unthinkable scenario waking up on August 1st that this could be the case, especially with so much time left in the season, but here we are. There is no Game 163 so even if the Brewers tie, the Cardinals win the division. Even with a magic number of 1, the Cardinals win the division because the number being 1 means the best possible outcome is a tie, and the Cardinals hold the tiebreaker. The Brewers have been eliminated from the NL Central and the Cardinals have clinched. Milwaukee’s elimination number is the same as the magic number to clinch for the St. The Brewers elimination magic number for the NL Central is currently: 0 *as of 9/28/22 with 7 games remaining The Brewers are eliminated They were 3 games ahead of the St Louis Cardinals for first place in the NL Central and have since fallen several games back.
The Brewers have been on a downward trend ever since the August 2nd Trade Deadline. This story will be updated regularly as the Brewers’ magic number changes throughout the remainder of the regular season. The Milwaukee Brewers are on the outside looking in for a playoff spot in the 2022 MLB postseason.
