The Brewers hold a 10-game lead over the Cubs with 15 games remaining and can clinch a playoff spot this weekend with one more victory or if both the Diamondbacks and Padres lose. Milwaukee's magic number to win the NL Central is five, meaning a combination of Brewers wins and Cubs losses totaling five would secure the division title as early as Sunday. The Brewers also lead the Dodgers by 1.5 games for the best record in baseball, with a magic number of 14 to clinch the top overall seed.
