Brewers Can Clinch Playoffs Vs. Rangers - But A Lot Needs To Happen

The Milwaukee Brewers are the best team in baseball and there's a chance that they could even clinch a playoff spot on Tuesday night, but it's complicated.

On Tuesday, the Brewers shared the scenario that they would need to clinch a playoff berth already and it features a win on Tuesday as well as losses by the Cincinnati Reds, San Francisco Giants, and Los Angeles Dodgers, as shared on social media by Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

"A win gives MIL a max of 72 losses," the Brewers announced. If CIN wins, they would still be at 72 losses and could still create a three-way tie for NL Central Division and would win tiebreak. CHC would win HTH tiebreak over MIL. Therefore, CIN needs to get to 73 losses. If SF wins, they would still be at 71 losses and could still surpass MIL. Therefore, SF needs to get to at least 72 losses. LAD ties into SF. If SF loses and gets to 72 losses and the Dodgers lose tonight to put them at 65 losses, LAD/SF still have seven games left against one another, so either SF is guaranteed a 73rd loss OR if SF wins out and LAD/MIL lose out, all three teams would be 90-72 for two Wild Card spots.
