The Brewers beat the Cardinals 2-1 on Wednesday night. In one fell swoop, the Cardinals’ loss clinched playoff berths for the Cubs and Brewers. As of this writing, the Cubs are in progress against the Pirates and stand to end the night a half-game up on the Brewers in the NL Central. The third-place Cardinals will fall to a game and a half behind the Rockies for the second NL Wild Card slot.
The Cubs are back in the postseason for a fourth consecutive season. They were swept out of the 2015 NLCS by the Mets, won the World Series in 2016, then lost the NLCS in five games to the Dodgers last year.
