The Milwaukee Brewers hold the best record in Major League Baseball at 81-50, despite ranking last in home runs with 120. Their success stems from a solid on-base percentage of.337 and a high walk rate of 10.7%, showcasing a small-ball approach. Pitching also contributes significantly, with Jacob Misiorowski's impressive 1.68 ERA. Manager Pat Murphy acknowledged their lack of cohesion but remarked on their ability to perform well without being at their best. The Brewers aim to continue this momentum into the postseason, where their small-ball strategy may be tested against power-hitting teams.
