While expectations were high going into the 2018 season, not many were prepared for the run that the Brewers were about to make. In fact, it didn’t look like the run was going to happen. At 76-61 and 5 games back in the division at the start of September, the Brewers were trending downward rather than up. A wild card berth looked like the only way into the postseason, and the Brewers were reinforcing the roster with waiver trade additions to hopefully get there. What followed was 20 wins in the final 26 regular-season games, propelling the Brewers not only into the playoffs, but to a division championship.
