Milwaukee Brewers Betting Preview
The Milwaukee Brewers had a successful 2021 Major League Baseball season, winning the National League Central and qualifying for the postseason. There, they fell to the eventual World Series champions in the Atlanta Braves. This season, the Brewers will look to win the division once again, with a goal of having a better showing should they get to the postseason.
In the offseason, the Brewers made a couple of interesting moves with their lineup that they hope will spark some better offensive output. But they will be able to rely on one of the best pitching staffs in the game today no matter how they do offensively. That pitching staff will make them a championship contender, and they will hope their offense can hold up its end of the bargain.

Key Additions: Andrew McCutchen, Hunter Renfroe
Key Departures: Eduardo Escobar, Avisaíl García
These moves by the Brewers this offseason were interesting, as they clearly tried to jump start their lineup by making them. Renfroe is an especially interesting addition at this point, as he is coming off of a 135-hit season for the Boston Red Sox in 2021. But it feels like the Brewers kind of broke even with their offseason, as they brought in a couple of quality hitters and saw a couple of quality hitters leave.
Fortunately, the Brewers did not do anything to meddle with their pitching staff, which is the strength of this ballclub. While it would have been tempting to try and add more arms to a team full of elite pitching talent, Milwaukee did an admirable job of leaving well enough alone with its staff, and deserves credit for that.
Offensive Stats
| 2021 (Rank) | 2020 (Rank) | |
|---|---|---|
| Batting Average (BA) | .233 (T-27th) | .223 (26th) |
| On-Base Percentage (OBP) | .317 (T-14th) | .313 (21st) |
| Slugging Percentage (SLG) | .396 (T-23rd) | .389 (23rd) |
| Weighted On-Base Avg (wOBA) | .310 (19th) | .307 (23rd) |
| Weighted Runs Created Plus (wRC+) | 91 (T-23rd) | 89 (24th) |
| Batting Avg on Balls In Play (BABIP) | .283 (25th) | .278 (22nd) |
| Strikeout Percentage (K%) | 24.0% (T-22nd) | 26.6% (28th) |
| Walk Percentage (BB%) | 9.6% (T-4th) | 10.1% (11th) |
Offensively, the Milwaukee Brewers were fine, but not great in the 2021 season. They were a top-half team in terms of scoring a season ago, and hit close to 200 home runs. But they were a terrible average hitting team and did not have quite enough power to offset that. They will hope that their offseason acquisitions can help with those flaws, but it is an existing member of the Brewers that will need to step up the most.
Christian Yelich was once an MVP in the National League before some injuries crept in. But he has a combined 140 hits over 599 at-bats over the last two seasons, which is far below the standard he set for himself. He will need to get back on track for this Brewers team to realize its offensive potential.
Pitching Stats
| 2021 (Rank) | 2020 (Rank) | |
|---|---|---|
| Earned Run Average (ERA) | 3.50 (3rd) | 4.18 (11th) |
| Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP) | 3.72 (3rd) | 3.80 (4th) |
| Adj. Fielding Independent Pitching (xFIP) | 3.75 (T-1st) | 3.76 (2nd) |
| Strikeout Percentage (K%) | 27.0% (2nd) | 28.1% (3rd) |
| Walk Percentage (BB%) | 9.0% (T-20th) | 8.6% (11th) |
| Left On Base Percentage (LOB%) | 74.7% (5th) | 70.5% (19th) |
Fortunately for the Brewers, they may not have to reach their full offensive potential to have success this season. That is because their pitching staff is positively lights out, finishing in the top-five in most major statistical categories on the mound. They struck out an incredible 27% of batters this past season, and had the third best earned run average in the league.
Brandon Woodruff and Corbin Burnes lead the starting rotation of the Brewers, coming off of seasons where they each struck out over 200 batters. They both had ERAs under 3.00 as well, with both sporting WARs of 5.6 a season ago. It may not be sustainable to ask that much of them again this year, but they have proven themselves capable of delivering in spectacular fashion in Milwaukee.
Positives & Negatives
The biggest positive for the Brewers is clearly their pitching staff from top to bottom, as they should be able to hide a pretty pedestrian offense yet again this year. Winning 95 games a season ago despite being middle of the pack offense was a direct reflection of how good their pitching was. This season, more of the same can be expected from the Brewers on the bump.
On the negative side, the Brewers really should have done more with their batting order this offseason. While that is easier said than done, Milwaukee simply worked to replace their departures rather than add enough talent to truly make themselves a better offensive ballclub. If they get to the playoffs again this year, that decision could hurt them in a big way.
Milwaukee Brewers Pick & Prediction: Over 89.5
Normally, betting on a team with severe offensive flaws is not a great decision. But when it comes to the Milwaukee Brewers, their pitching staff is more than enough to make up for any issues that they have at the plate. Expect another season of 90 or more wins for the Brew Crew, as they should be able to lean on their arms to go over their season win total.
