The Milwaukee Brewers won 86 games last season and put their rebuild firmly in the rear view mirror with their acquisitions of Christian Yelich and Lorenzo Cain this winter. Last year’s team was projected by most outlets to post a win total somewhere in the mid-70s, leading many to quickly suggest that their success was fluky even as they contended for a playoff spot until the very end of the season. But the Brewers won’t be surprising anyone this season and according to the recently released PECOTA projections from Baseball Prospectus, we should expect our beloved local nine to be right in the thick of the postseason chase once again in 2018.
