The Milwaukee Brewers have finished the regular season with the best record in Major League Baseball for 2026, achieving 100 wins. They will enter the postseason as the No. 1 seed in the National League, receiving a bye in the wild-card round. Historically, top-seeded teams have had mixed success in the playoffs. While 35% of one-seeds make it to the World Series, many teams with the best records have failed to advance past earlier rounds. The Brewers, who lost in the NL Championship Series last year, will seek a different outcome as they prepare for the playoffs.
