The Milwaukee Brewers are a great example of why one shouldn’t read too much into early season results, whether tragic or magic. They arrive in San Francisco with a positive run differential (+11) on top of a winning record despite starting the season 0-4.
You might’ve heard about their tough opening weekend against the Yankees. After a normal 4-2 loss on opening day, they got blown out in the following games 20-9 and 12-3, and the Yankees hit 15 home runs in the series. Then, to real make the pain hurt, they lost their home opener to the Kansas City Royals 11-1.
