Milwaukee Brewers Betting Odds
For just the second time since their founding as the Seattle Pilots in 1969, the Milwaukee Brewers made the post season for a second consecutive season in 2019. The Brewers have never won a World Series as they enter their 50th year in Milwaukee and have just one pennant, which they won all the way back in 1982 when they played in the American League. Milwaukee has been in what is for them the most successful era in franchise history with four post season appearances since 2008 to go with strong attendance.
For the 2019 season the Brewers had MLB metrics of 17th for runs scored, 20th for batting average, 12th for OPS, seventh for home runs, seventh for stolen bases, 16th for earned run average, 16th for WHIP, 10th for strikeouts, 29th for quality starts, 19th for fielding and 17th for bullpen. The season was a bit of a letdown after taking the Los Angeles Dodgers to seven games in the 2018 NLCS. A prolonged injury to 2018 NL MVP Christian Yelich didn’t help matters.
Manager Craig Counsell is a local hero that grew up in the Milwaukee suburb of Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin where he played baseball for Whitefish Bay High School. His father was director of community relations for the Brewers as he grew up. After playing his college ball at Notre Dame, Counsell played in the Major Leagues from 1995-2011. He won two World Series championships as a player and was 2001 NLCS Most Valuable Player. He had two stints with the Brewers as a player and retired with Milwaukee. He has been manager of the Crew since 2015.
David Stearns has been general manager of the Brewers since September of 2015 and signed an extension one year ago in which he was promoted to president of baseball operations. Stearns attracted attention early in his career for his experience with analytics.

2020 Season Preview
Milwaukee will begin the 2020 season with the 22nd ranked payroll in Major League Baseball. Veteran lifetime Brewer Ryan Braun is winding down his career with the top salary on the team. Center fielder Lorenzo Cain and left fielder Christina Yelich are next on the payroll.
Right fielder Christian Yelich is the star and cornerstone of the Brewers. He has been with Milwaukee for two seasons and is coming off a career season last year in which he hit .329 with a slugging percentage of .671 and an OPS of 1.100. He scored 100 runs to go with 29 doubles, 44 home runs, and 97 runs batted in despite missing 32 games. Yelich won the 2018 National League Most Valuable Player award and is a two-time All Star and three-time NL Silver Slugger winner.
Second baseman Keston Hiura is coming off an impressive rookie season that has lifted expectations for even more in 2020. Hiura hit .303 with a slugging percentage of .570 and an OPS of .938 in 2019. He scored 51 runs with 23 doubles, 19 home runs, and 49 runs batted in.
Ryan Braun is a six-time NL All-Star and was 2011 NL MVP. Braun has won five NL Silver Slugger awards. He is coming off a resurgent 2019 season in which he hit .285 with a slugging percentage of .505 and an OPS of .849. Braun scored 70 runs to go with 31 doubles, 22 home runs, and 75 runs batted in.
Right hand starter Brandon Woodruff is the probable number one starter in the rotation. Woodruff is coming off a strong first season as a regular starter. His record was 11-3 with a 3.62 earned run average and WHIP of 1.12. Woodruff struck out 143 batters in 121.2 innings of work. He was a 2019 NL All-Star.
Closer Josh Hader was dominant in his first full season in that role for 2019. Hader was 3-5 with 37 saves and a 2.62 earned run average. His WHIP was 0.81. Hader struck out 138 batters in 75.2 innings of work. Hader is coming off back-to-back All-Star Game appearances and has won the Trevor Hoffman NL Reliever of the Year the past two seasons as well.
