The Milwaukee Brewers have made the Major League Baseball postseason in six of the past seven season. However, they have not won a playoff series since 2018, the year they took the Los Angeles Dodgers to Game Seven in the National League Championship Series. Before that, they had not made the playoffs since 2011, which saw them lose the NLCS in six games to the St. Louis Cardinals.
And before that, Milwaukee last made the postseason in 2008, an appearance that ended a 26-year playoff drought for the franchise. Of course, their last appearance before that was all the way back in 1982 when they lost the World Series to the Cardinals.
They have not been back in the league’s championship series since that time, but one MLB analyst believes that will change this year.
MLB Analyst Believes the Milwaukee Brewers Will Win the World Series in 2025
Recently, MLB analyst Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report wrote an article in which he laid out 10 bold predictions for the rest of the 2025 MLB season. His tenth and final prediction was that the Brewers would win their first World Series title in franchise history:
“One year removed from the massive market mayhem of a Dodgers-Yankees World Series, something like Brewers-Tigers in the 2025 Fall Classic would be a tough pill for MLB’s advertising sales team to swallow.
“However, that doesn’t make it any less plausible, as the Brew Crew surged into the All-Star break with a 20-7 record dating back to Jacob Misiorowski’s MLB debut.
“On offense, Milwaukee is quite the “whole is greater than the sum of its parts” masterclass. Both Jackson Chourio (16 HR, 16 SB) and Christian Yelich (19 HR, 14 SB) are well on their way to the 25/25 club, but neither of those best bats on the team was exactly a strong candidate for the All-Star Game.
“Such is life, though, when elite defense and aggressive baserunning are the calling cards of your position-player group. Per FanGraphs, Milwaukee ranks first in base running, fourth in defense and 22nd in slugging percentage.
“Combine that with what has suddenly become one of the best pitching staffs in the majors, and this might be the most legitimate World Series contender that Milwaukee has ever assembled.
“Freddy Peralta (11-4, 111.2 IP, 2.66 ERA) has looked great all season. Brandon Woodruff (10.1 IP, 0 BB, 18 K) has been lethal in his two appearances after missing the first 89 games of the season. The legend of The Miz continues to grow with each time he takes the mound. And Nestor Cortes (out since April 3 with an elbow strain) should be back in the next week or so, at which point Milwaukee has to decide what to do with Chad Patrick and Quinn Priester, both of whom have pitched unexpectedly well.
“The Brewers are still listed at +2500, though. That’s the 10th-best World Series odds for what has been the best team in baseball over the past month. Value like that doesn’t come around very often, but it’s surely somewhat rooted in the fact that Milwaukee is seeking what would be its first World Series crown in its 57th season of existence.”
Every year, of course, Brewers fans are hopeful that their team will finally win a World Series. That being said, their desire for a championship grew exponentially this offseason when legendary radio broadcaster Bob Uecker passed away.
“Win it for Ueck” became a rallying cry among both fans and players, and it certainly appears that the team is putting themselves in a position to do just that.
They have the third-best record in the National League as of this writing, as well as the fourth-best record in all Major League Baseball.
For years, the team has promised that their young talent would, one day, lead the city to its first World Series since the Braves won it for Milwaukee back in 1957.
Now, with Jacob Misiorowski, Brice Turang, Jackson Chourio, and Sal Frelick headlining their roster, perhaps the Brewers could actually pull it off.
