After winning 86 games in 2017, and then going out and acquiring Christian Yelich and Lorenzo Cain, the Milwaukee Brewers entered 2018 with heightened expectations. That was reflected in last season’s PECOTA projection, which pegged the Brewers to be right in the thick of the playoff race and finish with the 7th-best record in the National League at 83-79. But the team wound up not only surpassing that win total, they blew it out of the water; 96 wins later, the Brewers finished the year with a Central Division championship, the top record on the Senior Circuit, and a berth in the NLCS.
