5 monster MLB series you’ll want to see live in August

MLB monster series: Brewers at Cardinals August 12-14
Not all of the best MLB series take place in the two biggest markets. Some are tucked away in the middle of the country. This is the one for the National League Central between the Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals from August 12-14.
There may actually not be a more difficult to predict division ace than this one. Both teams have swapped spots at the top. The Brewers have been the stronger team although they’ve had faults of their own throughout the season.
These three games in St. Louis will be essential for both clubs to come out on top.
What makes it most troubling is that whichever team doesn’t win the division might not even get into the postseason. While our other monster MLB series to see live in August include a pair of teams practically guaranteed to earn themselves a playoff berth, these three games can go a long way toward eliminating someone entirely.
Throughout the 2022 season, the Brewers and Cardinals have each had a tendency to slump. Injuries are in part to blame. Underwhelming performances can also have the finger pointed at them.
Losing this series won’t be a death sentence for either ball club. However, with things so close for most of the season, they might end up reflecting back on it as the time when they let the year slip away.
