How Brewers' postseason path could be impacted by NL Wild Card's photo finish

The Brewers hold a one-game Magic Number to clinch the best record in the National League, having already set a franchise record with 98 wins and holding the tiebreaker over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Milwaukee is positioned to secure the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye for the second consecutive year. The composition of the Wild Card race—particularly which team among the Cubs, Padres, and Phillies finishes as the third seed—will significantly affect Milwaukee's NLDS opponent, making the outcome relevant to the Brewers' postseason path.
