The Brewers clinch No. 1 seed in the National League. How far will they go this year?

The Milwaukee Brewers clinched the No. 1 seed in the National League playoffs following a 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday, paired with the Los Angeles Dodgers' 4-2 loss to the San Diego Padres. The Brewers hold the best record in Major League Baseball, setting a franchise record for wins and capturing their fourth consecutive National League Central title.

Milwaukee leads MLB in winning percentage and run differential while ranking third in wRC+ and top three in ERA. The pitching staff is headlined by Cy Young favorite Jacob Misiorowski, who leads the majors in ERA, strikeouts, and WHIP, as the franchise aims to improve upon reaching last year's NLCS.
