The Brewers are in a strange place. They are clearly a good team, and likely to make the playoffs, but how do they compare to other contenders?
The pitching is an especially mysterious affair at the moment. As the offense has seen standout performances from players like Jackson Chourio lately, the rotation doesn’t match the big, star power of some other contenders. That doesn’t mean the Brewers can’t win with this group, but it might appear to be a comparable weakness in the playoffs.
The Brewers can’t match a team like the Dodgers who, when healthy, have players like Tyler Glasnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Clayton Kershaw heading the rotation.
