The 2024 season for the Milwaukee Brewers has ended in stunning heartbreak, but it was a success overall and looking ahead, more success should be in store for this franchise -- even if the fans likely don't want to hear it right now.

The New York Mets’ 4-2 comeback victory over the Milwaukee Brewers Thursday night in the deciding game of the NL Wild Card Series averaged 4,017,000 viewers on ESPN and streaming, making it ESPN’s most-watched Major League Baseball game in three years.

Relevantly, the Mets played well against the NL East champion Phillies on consecutive weekends in September, winning four of seven games (including three of four at Citi Field). They emerged victorious in the Wheeler/ Megill contest, which could be the Game 1 matchup. They finished 6-7 against Philly overall.
