Brewers fans know the team has had trouble winning games in the past few weeks.

Today, the losing streak extended to coin flips.

Major League Baseball conducted a series of coin flips to determine the sites for potential one-game playoff contests that could be necessitated if the pennant races end in a tie.

The Brewers lost every combination of coin flips for the wild-card and will have home-field advantage in the unlikely event that they end up in a tie with Chicago for first place in the National League Central Division.

Here is a look at the way the coin flips worked out:

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Playoff for NL East
New York at Philadelphia

Playoff for NL Central
Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee

Playoff for NL West
Arizona at Los Angeles

Playoff for NL Wild Card
Milwaukee at Philadelphia
Milwaukee at Houston
Milwaukee at St. Louis
