The Milwaukee Brewers clinched a bye to the NLDS following the Atlanta Braves' loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday.

The Brewers (98-59) are trying to fend off the Los Angeles Dodgers (96-60) for the NL's top seed, which would give Milwaukee home-field advantage through at least the NLCS.

Meanwhile, the Braves (92-65) will have to play in the wild-card round if they can't catch the Dodgers.

The Brewers have already set a franchise record for wins in a single season.

The Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres, and Philadelphia Phillies are in a tight race for the NL's top wild-card spot.
