The Milwaukee Brewers are the first team to 80 wins again, but will it pay off in October is the question.
After Friday’s series opener win over the Atlanta Braves, the Milwaukee Brewers secured their 80th win of the season.
With the feat, Milwaukee became the first team to reach 80 wins in back-to-back seasons.
The Brewers also secured their second win of the series against the Braves on Saturday afternoon, bringing their record to 81-49, matching the team’s record through 130 games last season.
In fact, over the past four seasons,
In fact, over the past four seasons, the Brewers have been among the most consistent teams not only in the National League but also in all of baseball.
Milwaukee lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in last season’s NLCS, which is something they shouldn’t hang their heads about, considering the Dodgers were the defending champions and went on to win the World Series again last Fall.
In the seasons before that, the Brewers had early postseason exits, losing in the NLWC after back-to-back impressive seasons in 2023 and 2024.
In recent seasons, Milwaukee has gained a reputation
In recent seasons, Milwaukee has gained a reputation for being strong in the regular season, but hasn’t been able to put it all together in October.
However, at some point, it has to make people wonder when the Brewers will finally break through and win their first World Series title.
Realistically, this may be their best chance to get the job done this season, as they have consistently beaten the league’s top teams, winning a four-game series against the Dodgers earlier in the month and clinching the series over Atlanta on Saturday.
Not to mention, the Brewers have a fantastic
Not to mention, the Brewers have a fantastic pitcher in Jacob Misiorowski, who has really made a name for himself this season with a fastball that no team has figured out yet.
The fastball has not only set multiple records throughout the season but has also earned praise from veteran ace Chris Sale, who faced it on Friday and said, “It’s probably the most impressive fastball I’ve ever seen.”
Whenever high praise is given by an elite pitcher like Sale, it should be taken seriously.
Milwaukee’s bats have also been hot this season,
Milwaukee’s bats have also been hot this season, as they just defeated the Seattle Mariners this past week by an insane 22-0 score, with four home runs.
With a little over a month left in the regular season, the Brewers have two big series left to test themselves before the postseason begins, including a matchup against the Chicago Cubs.
Although none of this year’s regular-season success will matter to Milwaukee, the wins over their biggest rivals could boost their confidence heading into the postseason as they aim to capture the franchise’s first-ever World Series.
