With all the numbers and analysis in baseball these days, there are often countless ways to break down a team’s strengths, weaknesses, and reasons for their results. Then you come across a club like the 2018 Milwaukee Brewers, where it’s tough to figure out what they are as an offense – and how to predict success.
Many figured the Brewers would be among the top offensive teams this season, especially adding Christian Yelich and Lorenzo Cain to the fold. Add in Jesus Aguilar’s All-Star first half, and one would have thought the 2018 run production would have easily out-paced last year’s club.
