[strefz]

In the middle of August, the Brewers take their shortest, but potentially most important, road trip of the season. It's off to take on the Reds and Cubs on their home turf. What awaits the team on this dog days journey?

Cincinnati Reds – August 15-17
Great American Ballpark - Capacity 43,500
2024 Attendance: 2,024,178 (Averaged 24,989 - ranked 12th out of 15 NL teams, 21st overall MLB)

This is Milwaukee's return trip to Cincinnati after starting June there during Road Trip #6. The weather will be warmer, with some storms possible. Rainouts are possible, but so are double-headers from any of the June games rained out. Brewers fans might want to earmark this series if they want to hit Great American Ballpark on their bucket list. After this three-game set, the Brewers head back to Chicago for their second trip to Wrigley Field.

Chicago Cubs - August 18-21
Wrigley Field - Capacity 41,649
2024 Attendance: 2,909,755 (Averaged 35,922, ranked 5th in NL parks and 6th overall)

The Brewers face a daunting four-game series in their return trip to Chicago to face the Cubs. Since they last went there on Road Trip #7, the NL Central standings should be sorted out, and this series has the potential to be a big one. The heat should make the ball fly out of Wrigley, but hopefully only off the Brewers' bats. Either way, there is no rest for the Brewers or their fans because it's back home to welcome the Giants and Diamondbacks without any off days. 

How will these return trips treat the Brewers? Anyone planning to turn this into your road trip of the year?
