2019 Brewers Predictions Win-Loss Record: 82-80 Playoffs (Yes, No): No Highest Playoff Level Achieved: N/A All-Star Game Representative(s): Yelich & Hader Offensive Player of the Year: Yelich Starting Pitcher of the Year: Chacin Relief Pitcher of the Year: Hader Most Surprising Player: Arcia, continues to listen Yelich. Most Disappointing Player: Grandal Last year was special. This year goes the other way! Burnes, Peralta and Woodruff will all be inconsistent, at times they will dominate, other times we'll wonder what happened. Davies and Anderson will yo-yo as the #5 starter with neither being able to take command. It's not until July when Nelson returns, that the outlook brightens. Outside of Hader and Guerra, the bullpen will be a trainwreck. Knebel is lost for the year and Jeffress will visit the DL a couple of times. At the plate, Brauns "days off" become more frequent and Gamel will make us long for the days of Santana. Cain and Yelich continue from last year, but Yelich doesn't match last years superhuman streak. Shaw and Moose are solid, I expect their numbers will be close to last years. The Jesus experiment fails as the dip in the second half of last year continues. Arcia blooms as a hitter, as he copies the Yelich approach, sans the power. Grandal, despite expectations, is only so-so and many will want Manny to be the primary catcher. All in all, it's a brutal year in the NL as "parity" will become the buzzword and the slightest weakness on each team is magnified. Like I said, last year was special and I would love to see it again, but the magic eludes the Brewers this year.
