In all seriousness, I agree they are in a weak division but they have 3 really good starters and closer. Their pitching could carry them in the playoffs.

Every team that makes the playoffs will have 2-3 really good starters.
Looking forward to seeing who the Brewers face in the first round. Could be some tremendous value on their opponent.

They do have a better pitching staff than most, but at this point not being a homer but i think the Reds are the best team in the Central. And there's no way its the worst division. NL East, AL Central.

With all due respect Ron, you're a good guy and all.Let's end this debate right here and now.
NL playoff picture right now looks like Mil/Atl in that first round matchup.
Last time I checked the Braves played in the NL East, and the NL East is worse then the NL Central.
And the last time I checked, the Braves do not have 2 or 3 good pitchers, starters and relievers combined.
Now for what's it's worth my opinion is the NL will be represented by a NL West team and the AL will be represented by the Chicago White Sox. The Brewers will lose to a NL West team but they are better than any NL East team and the Reds.
That's just my opinion, but like assholes everybody has one.

Miley has been good. The others have been good in year's past but I would not call them top tier starters that you can depend on. We all know you're a Cinci homer so I'm not going to go back and forth with you on this. Hell, I remember when you and Owen(RIP) from America's Bookie were trying to tell me how great Andy Dalton was years ago when I said he was hot garbage.

In fairness, Dalton was somewhere in between our opinions about him. He was a serviceable game manager so long as he didn't have to carry the load.

Andy Dalton get a bad rap.
He's not a bad QB, he knows the game and all.
He's just not a top 18 NFL QB.
But think about it, I'd be honored to be considered the 20th best QB in football when you consider all the QB's now that are playing HS and NCAA and pro ball.
Umm, there's a reason why Dalton has been in the league for years.
That reason is he doesn't suck at football.

Ron, always enjoy some comedy in the afternoon! Brewers are the top run scoring team in MLB since late June and have 3 of the top 4 pitchers in the majors in ERA. Plus, they're 40-20 on the road. Sounds like a great recipe for playoff success, right? More than happy to revisit this in October...

Even with scoring more lately, there are still serious offensive gaps with them. The starting pitching is top-notch, but I don't know if that pen can hold games in the playoffs. I would still be concerned if they can score come playoff time with that lineup. Pitching will keep them in games though.

They dont scare me in playoffs. Woodruff is beatable very beatable. His wl record tells me that. Peralta a fukkin stud. This has a 2011 phillies vibe to it. Id rather buehler urias scherzer or lynn rodon giolito than peralta burnes woody in a playoff series. Give me that rlr action. Lad and chw bats much deeper than mil too.

Next to saves starting pitchers W/L records are the most overrated stats in baseball.
Jacob de Grom went 10 and 9 and 11 and 8 in back to back seasons.
The more accurate thing you could say is "the Brewers are beatable when Woodruff starts"
Woodruff has been pretty much unhittable all season.
His WH/IP ratio tells me so.
Want more?
Phil Hughes won 17 games with the Yankees one season with a run support of close to seven runs a game.
Hell, Ray Charles can win 17 games with seven runs of support.

Why does he have 6 losses vs 7 wins then. His teammate peralta has almost identical stats and has a 9-3 record. If you wanna blame the lineup ok fine cause that lineup will get shutdown in playoffs which is the premise of this thread. A guy 7-6 playing weak teams like cubs pirates cards dback rox all season isnt gonna hold up vs real teams in the playoffs. Ive seen this story 1000 times before. Its the 2011 phillies exactly what the 2021 brewers are. Theyll be huge chalk cause of the sp and wont go anywhere.

Blah blah blah bla bla. This is about $$$$$. Only 8 yo kids actually care about being a fan. Im in it for the money nothing else. Difference between peralta and woodruff this season. 1k 162 vs 163. Whip .01 era .08 wl % .750 peralta .533 woody. So youre down units betting woodruff at huge chalk. Up big units betting peralta. Up a ton betting studs like buehler. This is why i dont mess with fukk boys like degrom or woodruff. Have fun losing money on them while being their fan boy.

The pitcher can't control his team scoring runs. Look at DeGrom's win vs losses in recent years. He was 10-9 a few years ago with a 1.70 ERA...Based on your logic, I guess he isn't that good?

Just read nasher's post from yesterday after posting the above...my bad
I also remember Felix Hernandez was 13-12 years ago the year he won the Cy Young.
MILWAUKEE -- The National League Central was not going to be won or lost this week, no matter the outcome of the final regular-season series between the division’s top two teams.
But with Wednesday’s 4-1 win over the Reds, and back-to-back victories to start this series, Milwaukee has done its

Keep betting those -220 chalk square favorites consistently, see where it lands you.
Under a bridge abutment sleeping in your van, that's where.
There's a time and place to bet -220 chalk, money line with another chalk in a two team parlay.
Or run line on the road.
If you have to ask me why then it's time to turn in your gambling card.

White Sox have Lance Lynn and Carlos Rodon. Yanks have Cole and Taillon has been very good last little bit. Padres also have Darvish and Snell.

It’s not really that big of a prediction. It’s three rounds of playoffs and 2 of the 5 teams have better record then them. That being said the expectation for them has always been maybe nl finals that’s it
