Yeah, I'm sure lots of teams are looking forward to facing Burnes, Woodruff, and Peralta in a short series followed by the best bullpen in the majors (by WPA).
And then if the Brewers are scoring runs like they have been lately...
After this week, the Brewers will have the Marlins as their toughest and only opponent above .500 until they face the Cubs in the last series of the season. Brewers' schedule is objectively easy and is only going to be getting easier moving forward.
I don't disagree that this thing is going to end up pretty close, but the Cubs' remaining schedule is harder than the Brewers. .506 OPP W% vs. .485 W%. They've still got 3 vs. the Braves, 7 vs. Dbacks, 4 vs. Reds, 3 vs. Giants.
Remember when everyone was complaining about the horrible deadline we had?
To say that now, you'd have to squint your eyes really hard and only see Chafin.
Outstanding work from Bryse Wilson. Not just huge for this game, but for the next 3 games in Chicago. He's recovered nicely after a stretch where he was serving up some gopherballs.
