The rubber game of the series takes place this afternoon, and the Brewers and Cardinals are playing for first place today. A half game apart entering the day, a Brewers win puts them a half game ahead entering a tough series against the Dodgers, while a loss would put them 1 1⁄2 games behind. The teams are even at 7-7 against each other this season, and with tiebreakers now handled with records, taking the season series ensures that tiebreaker if the teams are tied.
