As I said at the top of , the Milwaukee Brewers are making a mockery of the rest of baseball right now. It's silly. It's like someone playing a few levels of difficulty too low on a video game just to see if they can run the table and win every game. They are 27-4 since July 5 and 51-16 since May 24. They won 11 games in a row after that July 5 loss, but that isn't even their longest winning streak since that date .
The Brewers, thanks to their 12-game winning streak they extended Wednesday night against the Pirates, now have the best record in baseball by 6 ½ games. Given not only that but also the major struggles every other serious contender have suffered this season -- most of them very recently -- one might think the Brewers' are the odds-on favorites to win the World Series.
