The 2025 postseason is right around the corner. Already, we know that the Milwaukee Brewers will be in the NLDS, bypassing the Wild Card Series. Their discipline, style of play, and commitment to the little things helped them earn a first-round bye and overall the best record in baseball, which, should they hold onto it for the final two games of the season, will guarantee them home-field advantage throughout the entirety of the playoffs.
Similar to last year, the Brewers have found success in unconventional ways, leaning less on raw power and more on fundamentals. Rather than relying on a lineup stacked with sluggers, Milwaukee has simplified its offensive approach to focusing on getting on base, applying pressure with smart, aggressive baserunning, and capitalizing on small-ball opportunities.
