The Milwaukee Brewers have been playing some exciting baseball of late, winning their last seven games in a row thanks to a rejuvenated offensive attack (and perhaps some substandard competition). Even with their recent hot streak, the Brew Crew still finds themselves sitting at just 35-48, the worst team in the National League Central and the third worst record in baseball. Most reports have indicated that Milwaukee is acknowledging their role of “seller” as we trudge towards the non-waiver trade deadline, and they should have several players that contending teams will find intriguing.
At 43-38 and currently in control of a Wild Card spot, the Los Angeles Angels would fit the definition of a contending team.
