However, the Brewers remain in 1st place in the NL Central with a record of 27-19 and a.587 winning percentage, which also gives them the 4th best record in the National League, behind the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves, and Los Angeles Dodgers. This will be the first series of the season against the Marlins for the Brewers, with Milwaukee having won four of the seven meetings last season against Miami and winning by an average margin of 3.29 runs per game in those meetings; however, they enter the series on a two-game losing streak in the series against the Marlins.
