​Though the Milwaukee Brewers’ pitching rotation isn’t a picture of health, the team remains near the top of the Major League Baseball power rankings heading into the second half of the season.At 59-37, the Brewers need to go 41-25 in the the last 10 weeks of the season to reach 100 wins for the first time in franchise history. With Brandon Woodruff already on the 60-day injured list, Kyle Harrison also on the IL and the Brewers being cautious with Jacob Misiorowski’s arm, it may be difficult for the team to maintain the consistency it’s shown through the first 96 games.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBut they remain in the No. 2 position – behind the Los Angeles Dodgers – in the MLB power rankings, even after getting swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Dodgers also lost all three games in their final series of the first half.Here’s a look at why the Brewers remain among the best in baseball (last week’s ranking is in parentheses):1 / 22Jacob Misiorowski is following his impressive rookie season with a dominant second year for the Milwaukee Brewers in what could end up being the best pitching season in team history. He leads all of baseball with a 1.62 ERA and strikeouts (167) and has set the record multiple times for fastest pitch ever for a starting pitcher.It earned him his second All-Star Game appearance and he’s a leading candidate for the NL Cy Young Award.

But they lost Kyle Harrison to the IL in that series before getting swept in Pittsburgh and having Jacob Misiorowski scratched from Sunday’s start due to arm fatigue. Things could unravel in a hurry for Milwaukee if that dynamic duo is compromised for the second half.”1 / 11Trey Ebel takes batting practice during the 2026 Draft Combine at Chase Field on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, in Phoenix, Arizona.(Jill Weisleder, MLB Photos via Getty Images)It’s hard for Matt Snyder to knock the Brewers when they keep winning:AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”They’re on pace to win 100 games. The franchise record for wins in a season is 97, set last season. The Golden Era of Brewers Baseball continues.”1 / 25Brice Turang’s glove features a platinum patch to commemorate his 2024 Platinum Glove award.(Curt Hogg, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)Rowan Kavner would like to see the Brewers make a significant move:”The Brewers limp into the break after getting swept by the Pirates over the weekend, but they still have a comfortable five-game lead in the NL Central after yet again exceeding expectations.”Jacob Misiorowski is the most overpow
