Brewers' pitching schedule, dwindling Magic Number makes NL Central clinch against Pirates likely

The Milwaukee Brewers hold a 10-game lead over the Chicago Cubs with a Magic Number of 2 to clinch the NL Central, meaning any combination of two Brewers wins or Cubs losses will secure their fourth consecutive division title. The Cubs face the Atlanta Braves starting Monday, and if Chicago loses that opener, the Brewers would need just one win in their upcoming series against Pittsburgh to clinch. Milwaukee will send Jacob Misiorowski, Logan Henderson, and Dustin May to the mound in Pittsburgh, their top three starters who could also serve as a preview of the postseason rotation.
