Brewers host Mariners as playoff races heat up

The Milwaukee Brewers are set to host the Seattle Mariners for a three-game series beginning this week. The Brewers, owning the best record in baseball at 77-48, recently finished a West Coast road trip. After being swept by the Padres, they secured three victories against the Dodgers. Meanwhile, the Mariners stand at 59-66 but are just 2.5 games behind the final Wild Card spot in the American League. Seattle is coming off a series win against the Astros, marking their first series victory since the trade deadline. Both teams face injury challenges heading into the series, in their outfields and pitching rotations.
