The Brewers won their last four games against the Cardinals in 2018 and finished 7.5 games ahead of them in the division. Milwaukee won the season series with an 11-8 record, the same mark it posted in 2017. The Brewers had never won the season series against the Cards in back-to-back years.

The Brewers won the National League Central in 2018 by winning a Game 163 against the Cubs. That was the Brewers' first division title since 2011. Milwaukee fell to Los Angeles in the 2018 NLCS, 4- 3, the round it also reached in 2011 -- the Brewers lost to the Cardinals, 4-2, that season.

The Cardinals failed to make the postseason in 2018 for the third straight season despite having a win percentage over .500 in all three seasons. St. Louis is the first National League team to have three or more consecutive winning seasons without a playoff berth since the Phillies from 2003 to 2006.

Miles Mikolas went 18-4 with a 2.83 ERA in his first season in St. Louis. He had the most wins by a pitcher in his first season with the Cardinals since Darryl Kile won 20 games in 2000. Mikolas had 19 games with six-plus innings pitched and two earned runs or fewer in 2018, fourth most in the NL.

Jhoulys Chacin went 15-8 with a 3.50 ERA in his first season in Milwaukee. He limited right-handed batters to a .528 OPS, the third-lowest mark among National League pitchers who faced at least 200 righties in 2018 (Jacob deGrom was first with .460 OPS against and Miles Mikolas was second at .504).

Christian Yelich was the National League MVP for 2018. From September 1 to the end of the regular season, Yelich had an OBP of .508 and slugged .804. He is the first NL player to have 500+ OBP and .800+ SLG after September 1 since Barry Bonds in 2001 (.607/1.078) in 2001 (minimum 50 PA).

HP - Cederstrom, 1B - Hudson, 2B - Johnson, 3B - Wolcott

The Milwaukee Brewers required an additional game to win the Central Division in 2018, then pushed the National League Championship Series to its limit before falling short of booking their first World Series appearance since 1982.
The Brewers look to take a few more steps this season, with the journey beginning against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday afternoon in the opener of a four-game series.

Brewers opening season vs. Cardinals with high hopes

MILWAUKEE (AP)  Lorenzo Cain fired the ball high into the air and jumped up and down in the outfield, yelling and shaking his head from side to side.
''I let them know. Not today,'' a grinning Cain said.
