The Milwaukee Brewers are in a fight—and the Chicago Cubs are lurking.

After Milwaukee's 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, the Brewers face some real questions heading into the final stretch of the season. Are the injuries the main reason for Milwaukee's inconsistency, or should Brewers fans be worried about this team's ability to deliver in October?

We'll debate whether you trust this version of the Brewers in the postseason, what the ideal starting rotation looks like, and whether anyone outside of Jacob Misiorowski gives you the same level of confidence. Plus, the bullpen continues to be a concern as Milwaukee tries to position itself for a deep playoff run.

🏈 PACKERS: REAL, FAKE OR PRESEASON?

The Green Bay Packers played the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, giving us plenty to debate—but how much should we actually take away from the preseason?

We'll put some of the biggest takeaways through the *Real, Fake or Preseason?* test:

Trey Smack drilling 58-yard field goals

Brandon Cisse looking like he belongs

The Packers' backup defense getting shredded

Jordan Morgan looking comfortable at left tackle

Plus, what aren't we talking about enough when it comes to the Packers? We've spent months discussing Matt LaFleur's philosophy, Jordan Love's MVP potential, Tucker Kraft's extension and Micah Parsons—but is there another storyline that could ultimately define Green Bay's season?

Join us for another Saturday Scramble covering the Milwaukee Brewers, Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers and the biggest debates in Wisconsin sports.
