Expected to be one of baseball's worst teams, the Brewers sit in first place in the National League Central.
The Milwaukee Brewers were bad last year (73-89), and they were expected to be terrible again this season. So of course they have a better record through 60-plus games than the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians, last year's World Series combatants.
That's baseball.
Prior to the season, our models gave five teams basically no chance -- one squad exactly zero chance -- of winning the World Series.
