Is this the best Brewers team since 1982? And is this actually our best chance to win a World Series since that team?
Their run differential of +135 is likely to be higher than any team since 1982 (assuming it nudges out 1992 of +136). Not necessarily trying to compare Brewers teams to each other, but compared to the league in any given year, has there been a better performing Brewers team since then?
That run differential also is better than any team in baseball right now. I find this notable because in almost every other instance of a year where we thought we had a great chance (2021/2018/2011) there was at least one team that obliterated our run differential by double...usually many teams. The fact no team in baseball even has one higher than us right now is a big deal.
Would be great to play well down the stretch, get one of the byes, and secure homefield in a World Series.
