Milwaukee Has 100 Wins Waiting in the Series Finale

There is an obvious number attached to Milwaukee’s final game in Philadelphia.

Ninety-nine.

The Brewers reached 99 wins by answering Philadelphia’s 6-4 victory in the opener with a 4-1 win of their own. The series is tied, and Milwaukee can leave Citizens Bank Park with both the series and its 100th victory.

The more interesting part of the Brewers’ season is how they have built that record. Milwaukee ranks second in MLB with 5.13 runs per game and third with a .339 on-base percentage. Yet the Brewers have hit only 151 home runs, 29th in baseball. Their offense has produced elite run totals without an elite home-run total.

The pitching plan for the finale is unusual as well. Bryse Wilson is listed as Milwaukee’s probable starter even though he has not started a game this season. Across 34.1 innings, he has a 3.67 ERA and 2.92 FIP, walking only 0.8 batters per nine.

Philadelphia’s Andrew Painter has made 22 starts and thrown 120.2 innings, so this is not a clean comparison between pitchers working in the same role. Painter has a 5.59 ERA and 4.81 FIP.

If the game moves deep into the bullpens, Milwaukee has another season-long edge. Brewers relievers rank third in MLB with a 3.40 ERA; Philadelphia is 20th at 4.31.

The Phillies have already shown they can beat Milwaukee in this series. The Brewers answered once. A second answer would put a round number on a season already filled with wins.
