"Pennant Fever 2008: 67 to go"

With exactly half the season left, the Milwaukee Brewers and the NL Central division-leading Chicago Cubs are heading for a showdown. Both teams desperately want to make it into the Playoffs, and both teams are making a dramatic push to get there!

Here's where things stand right now -- at the All-Star Break:

Team Name .... W - L ... .pct ... GB

Chi Cubs ...... 57 - 38 ... .600 ... ----
St. Louis ...... 53 - 43 ... .552 ... 4.5
Milwaukee .... 52 - 43 ... .547 ... 5.0

According to the Post-Season Odds, the Brewers currently have a 41% chance of making the playoffs, with a league-leading 30% chance of winning the NL Wild Card. They also have an 11% chance of going to the World Series. Where they go from here, though, will be what makes this summer and fall sooooo very exciting! Go Brewers!
