Brewers surge puts a World Series within reach

Milwaukee has surged to an 81-50 record and sits on a roughly 100-win pace, driven by elite defense, solid baserunning, and a revamped rotation led by Jacob Misiorowski.

With that form, a first World Series title feels plausible, while hot-streaks from Phillies and Red Sox and Detroit’s late-season flameout are noted in the surrounding chatter.
