With the month of August coming to a close and the MLB season approaching its final month of baseball, the Brew Crew look to a 4-game road series out west to the Los Angeles Dodgers and then a 3-game home series against rival Chicago Cubs.  With the Brewers falling behind faster to the division leading St. Louis Cardinals and the amount of games running low, they'll need to find a way to turn it around to catch a Wild Card spot.
