5 things that need to happen for Brewers to win World Series

The Brewers starting rotation needs to continue to be dominant

Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, and Freddy Peralta are shaping out to be a modern-day version of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz.

Those three need to stay healthy and replicate what they did in 2021. All three made the NL All-Star team and Burnes won the Cy Young.

If those three along with Adrian Houser, Aaron Ashby, and Eric Lauer at the back of rotation pitch to what they are capable of, the Brewers have a great chance of repeating as division champs and making a deep run.

Also, having a really good bullpen helps, and the Brewers project to have one of the best in baseball with Josh Hader and Williams leading the way.

It will be the Brewers’ pitching that will be the great neutralizer when facing the bigger payroll teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, New York Mets, or Philadelphia Phillies in the playoffs.

Make a couple of midseason trades

The Milwaukee Brewers did not make any major signings. The biggest acquisition of the offseason was trading for Hunter Renfroe.

That was a pretty big deal for Brewers’ team president David Stearns to pull off. The Brewers are also hoping to get one more decent year out of former MVP Andrew McCutchen at designated hitter.

The Brewers still have a hole at first base as they are hoping Keston Huira and Rowdy Tellez can provide consistent offense from that spot–something both have struggled to do in their brief careers.

There is one thing you can count on Stearns doing and that is making a couple of shrewd moves during the season to upgrade the roster.

If the plan at first base or designated hitter does not work out, Stearns needs to hit on an in-season trade.

You can also expect Stearns to be on the lookout for a bullpen arm come the trade deadline.

If these five things happen, and the Brewers avoid playing the hottest team in baseball in the NLDS or the Wild Card round, the Crew has a chance to get to the promised land–the World Series.
