Brewers Enter 2026 Postseason With Franchise-Record 103 Victories

The Milwaukee Brewers finished the 2026 regular season with 103 wins and a MLB-leading plus-214 run differential.

The Milwaukee Brewers concluded the 2026 regular season with a franchise-record 103 victories and their fourth consecutive NL Central title. The team led all of Major League Baseball with a plus-214 run differential, surpassing the previous franchise mark set in 1982 by 50 runs. Milwaukee enters the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres ranking second in the majors in both runs scored (832) and team ERA.

Milwaukee’s offense relies on a contact-oriented approach, posting the lowest home run rate in baseball at 2.4%. The club led the majors in batting average (.258), walk rate (10.6%), and on-base percentage (.341). Only 32.1% of the team's runs were generated via home runs, the lowest percentage in the league. Despite this, the Brewers led MLB with a 19.1% RBI rate, which measures runners driven in as a percentage of runners on base with home runs excluded.

Situational statistics show the Brewers posted a .354 batting average with the bases loaded, recording 151 runs in those scenarios. Outfielder Garrett Mitchell hit the team's only grand slam of the season during a 20-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in September. Defensively, the team ranked fifth in defensive runs saved, while the pitching staff finished third in bullpen ERA and fifth in rotation ERA.

The Brewers are seeking their first championship in the 57-year history of the franchise. During the 2025 postseason, Milwaukee was eliminated in a four-game sweep by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, a series in which the Brewers were limited to four total runs.
