Monthly Preview

2017 Milwaukee Brewers April Schedule
Each month I will do a schedule preview to take a look at the upcoming games.
The Brewers open up the year with 8 scheduled series in April. Opening up with a 4 game series against the Colorado Rockies at Miller Park. The Rockies are looking to a get off to a hot start after their lackluster year, last season. The first weekend series will begin at home against the rival, world series champions Chicago Cubs. A 2 game interleague series against the neighbors to the north, Toronto Blue Jays. The Jays will be a tough test, especially for the pitching staff. The Jays were a quality playoff team last year looking to get back to the promise land. 3 National league central series will follow. Set to begin in Chicago then come back to Milwaukee against the Cardinals and the Reds. April will end at home with a series against the Braves at home.
April can be a good month for the young Brewers club. More than a majority of games at will help the young players settle into the big leagues.
My prediction is for the crew to take 18 of the first 26 games keeping them atop of the NL central standings.
