Brewers' Improved Lineup Could Help Them Stop Their Recent History of Playoff Misfortune
The Brewers ranked third in MLB with 806 runs scored and second in on-base percentage, boosting their chances to advance after multiple playoff losses.
- The Milwaukee Brewers say their lineup's resourcefulness at the plate and on the basepaths should suit October play, as they host the Chicago Cubs in Game 1 Saturday, after scoring 869 runs.
- The Brewers paired a.332 on-base percentage with 164 steals, relying on smallball rather than 166 homers ranked 22nd to convert baserunners to runs.
- Several players exceeded expectations, most notably Andrew Vaughn and Brice Turang, while Caleb Durbin improved from a.186 average on May 23 to.277 the rest of the way.
- The Brewers face pressure as they have lost 11 of their last 13 playoff games and failed to score more than four runs in their final nine regular-season games, despite coach LeBoeuf feeling great.
- Pitching has long been Milwaukee Brewers' backbone, with seven postseason appearances in eight years, and this year they combined it with a clearer offensive identity led by Christian Yelich.
