MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) — The Milwaukee Brewers are National League Central champions for a fourth consecutive season, the longest streak in the division's history.

With the division secured, manager Pat Murphy and the Brewers can now turn their attention to earning a first-round bye and securing home-field advantage throughout the postseason.

As of 2:45 p.m. on Sept. 17, the Brewers' magic numbers are:

• National League Wild Card: CLINCHED
• National League Central: CLINCHED
• Postseason bye: 4
• National League No. 1 seed: 7
• MLB No. 1 overall seed: 8
• Games remaining: 9

A magic number represents the combination of Brewers wins and losses by the relevant team needed for Milwaukee to clinch that spot.

That means Brewers fans should be rooting for Milwaukee wins while keeping an eye on the Atlanta Braves in the race for a postseason bye, the Los Angeles Dodgers for the NL's No. 1 seed and the Tampa Bay Rays for the best overall record in baseball.

For example, a Brewers win lowers the corresponding magic number by one. A loss by the relevant opponent also lowers it by one. If both happen on the same day, the number drops by two.

Milwaukee has already guaranteed itself a spot in the postseason and its fourth straight NL Central championship. Now, with nine games remaining, the Brewers are trying to secure one of the NL's two first-round byes and potentially home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

This story will be updated daily as the Brewers' magic numbers change during the final stretch of the 2026 regular season.
