Odds of making the playoffs from MLB.com

We really need our starters to step up this year.

Brewers: 35.4%

Why the odds are against them: The Brewers rode elite pitching to 92 wins and the NL Central title in 2023, overcoming a lineup that ranked 17th in the Majors in runs scored and tied for 24th in home runs. However, after the team traded its ace, Corbin Burnes, to Baltimore, its rotation might not be good enough to carry the club in 2024. More of the onus has been placed on Milwaukee’s offense, which ranks 20th in projected WAR for the upcoming season.

How they can defy the odds: It’s all about the youth. Sal Frelick, Garrett Mitchell, Brice Turang, Joey Ortiz and DL Hall are all slated to play sizable roles for Milwaukee alongside Jackson Chourio (MLB Pipeline’s No. 2 overall prospect) in 2024. If Chourio can make an immediate impact and some of their other inexperienced players also step up, the Brewers should remain competitive in a division that isn’t exactly a buzzsaw.

I see 2024 as a transitional year for the Brewers. I dont think the team will suck. So there will be a bite at the apple. Its just going to be a smaller bite of the apple. 

I see 2025 as a year for this team to really make a run. Youngsters will be older, more money should be availiable for the FA market etc.
