Appreciate the effort, but you went to a whole lot of trouble to prove what we already know. The Brewers more than likely will be at or near .500. You can just always just extrapolate a team's winning % to estimate a team's final record. This whole thread was to calculate the odds of finishing BETTER than expected while incorporating the strength of schedule and home/road aspect of it. With so much talk of what final record the Brewers need to have a shot at the wildcard, I thought this could be of some help. Depends on pitching match-ups, if 3 or 4 guys can get hot at the same time, etc. Most of what is characterised as "getting how" is just normal random variance anyway, so that's pretty much what's being shown above.
