Therapy for myself:
Cubs at 88 wins with 12 games left. And the tie breaker (eta: nope)
Brewers at 86 wins with 11 games left.
If Cubs go 7-5, they get to 95. Brewers must go 10-1 to get to 96.
If Cubs go 6-6, 94... Brewers 9-2 to 95.
And so on.
Brewers are red hot, and they’ve done those numbers this month. But, this helps me.
EDIT: I’m totally wrong. We do NOT hold any tie breaker since the rules were changed in 2012:

We’d have to play a game at Wrigley to decide the division winner! Loser would get Wildcard spot 1. So, add a game less to the Brewers hill to climb, and they earn a tie-break game which we DON’T NEED. The loser would play 2 games prior to a possible NLDS.
Just enjoy the ride, Sepo..enjoy the ride
