The Brewers close out the regular season without much to play for against a potential playoff opponent in the Los Angeles Dodgers, other than maybe chasing a franchise record for wins in a season.
The Dodgers, meanwhile, come into this series with 103 wins on the season but face the very real possibility of having to play in the perilous NL Wild Card play-in game. Los Angeles is 2 games back of the San Francisco Giants with 3 games to play, and will likely be pushing to avoid that one-game scenario that could end their season prematurely.
