MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Brewers just won the NL Central Division and locked up home-field advantage throughout the NL playoffs. This is good news for the team with the 10th best attendance in baseball.

The Milwaukee Business Journal reports the numbers have been released of total attendance for every Major League Baseball team and the Brewers cracked the top 10 despite being the smallest metropolitan market in the league. 

Although the average league attendance decreased 4.1 percent, the Brewers saw an increase of 11.4 percent. Only the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies had a larger increase.

The Brewers had an attendance of 2,850,875, or an average of 35,195 a game this season. 

The Los Angeles Dodgers finished with the highest attendance in baseball, followed by the New York Yankees, St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Angels, Colorado Rockies, Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox.

The Brewers will need the same amount of fans to show up during the playoffs in order to keep this magical season going strong.
