Another series, another scan for the Brewers Milwaukee, when they shot the Pittsburgh Pirates, 12-5, Wednesday evening.
This victory made 12 games in a row for the team with the best MLB record at 76-44.
If you were asking a baseball fan entering the season that would have the best record of the League when the year turns to the playoffs, it is likely that they would not have said the brewers. But it’s the beautiful thing about the game – any team can emerge not only as a surprise winner, but a mastodon ready for a World Series race.

Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star Mookie Betts admitted that Milwaukee was not really in his mind at the start of the season. But after playing against them, he can perfectly understand where this success comes from.
“At the beginning, you are a little surprised like” wow, they are doing very well. They do all the facets well. “But when you play against them, you really see why.
While Brewers can be considered a surprise team in 2025, Betts reminded everyone that they have succeeded in the past seasons.

“Brewers have always been a very good ball club. They have always been around the bubble, they have been in the playoffs,” he said.
Milwaukee won the NL central division in each of the last two campaigns and figures to make three at the end of this regular season. And they have made the playoffs in six of their last seven seasons.
Thus, success has always been there, but the closest they arrived at the World Series were match 7 of the 2018 NLC, finally losing against the Dodgers. Betts was not part of the team at the time, but rather beaten them as a member of the Boston Red Sox to secure his first of the three rings of the World Series.
Since this appearance of the NLC, the Brewers have only reached the NLD. They lost in NL Wild Card Round in each of the last two seasons, including an overwhelming defeat of match 3 which came to the New York Mets which have raised power, which went around the NLC.

Now Betts thinks that things are different in Milwaukee, and he underlined a facet of the game in particular.
“They really have a good recipe there, but their pitch staff is really, really good. When you have the pitch, you can have a chance to win everything,” he said.
The pitch is essential, especially when October takes place. An excellent start, or stop parts of the enclosure enclosure, can make the difference between moving to a series or going home.

The Brewers have the third best era of the League team (3.59), which is not far behind the best Texas Rangers in the League (3.32) and San Diego Padres (3.55).
In the starting rotation, Freddy Peralta launched like a real AS with a 2.90 MPM of 136.2 rounds, removing 148 strikers while walking only 50 on this range. But the 24 -year -old Breakout season, 24, was a joy to watch, because he has a 3.49 MPM on a career summit of 118.2 innings. Jose Quintana (3.44 ERA), Chad Patrick (3.52 ERA) and the recruit launched by Jacob Miriorowski flames (2.70 ERA in 33.1 rounds) were all solid options for brewers in rotation this year.
Then, when it is time to close the door on the opponent, the Brewers can count on Trevor Megill closer to end it. He has 28 stops in 44 games this season with an MPM of 2.20 (41 rounds). He deserved his first sign of a career in career in the big season he, although he posted an MPM of 2.72 in 2024 in 48 games.
“They just find ways to do it, they find ways to get things done. They play a small ball, they hit the circuits. They do everything,” added Betts.
When it comes to hitting, Christian Yelich plays like the Bana Fide All-Star he needs if the Brewers want to go far in the playoffs. It cuts .266 / .344 / .456 with 23 circuits at the top of the team and 81 products produced.

But there is also a young life in programming, because Jackson Chourio continues to shine with Yelich in the outside field, striking .276 while striking .474 with 17 circuits and 29 doubles over the year. From Williams Contreras to Rhys Hoskins, Brice Turang, Sal Flicel, and the list continues, these brewers are implacable when it is in turn to produce an offense.
Will it last throughout a race in October in October? If this is the case, it will not be a surprise for Betts and the rest of the MLB.
The Dodgers have lost their six games against the Brewers this season.
