Milwaukee Brewers fans obviously would be happy if this comparison proves to be spot-on.
The Brewers are currently leading the National League Central, despite the Cubs being heavy favorites to win the division again. It's early June, so the Cubs could still be end up on top, but FiveThirtyEight's Neil Paine took a closer look at why Milwaukee is doing well this season.
Paine found many similarities between this year's Brewers team and the 2015 Royals, who won the World Series (as if you forgot that).
"It isn’t just that the Milwaukee Brewers share the same center fielder with those Royals — although another All-Star caliber season from Lorenzo Cain hasn’t exactly hurt the comparison," Paine wrote.
