The Brewers have reached the playoffs five of the last six years, the exception coming last season.
There’s a sense of urgency associated with this playoff berth because of the long-term uncertainty surrounding some key figures.
The Brewers were one win away from the World Series in 2018 when they lost a Game 7 at home to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but they haven’t won a postseason series since.
Although Milwaukee owns a combined 2-10 record against the Atlanta Braves and Dodgers — the NL’s top two playoff seeds — the Brewers’ pitching gives them reason for optimism.
The Brewers have lost seven of their last eight postseason games, a stretch that started with that Game 7 defeat in 2018.
