"Welcome to the stretch run of the 2025 MLB season! As we enter September, teams are making their final pushes for the postseason, and some of baseball's top clubs are already on their way to clinching a playoff berth -- potentially as soon as this weekend, in Milwaukee's case. In fact, the Brewers are an example of how far a team can go if it kicks into high gear. They have far and away the best record in the majors since the All-Star break, cementing their place atop the standings for a potential No. 1 seed and first-round bye."
"The outcome of a postseason that could very well feature the Brewers as the top overall team probably will settle the question of whether this is Milwaukee's best team ever. Barring a last-month collapse, that appears likely to be true -- for the regular season, at least. The Brewers have twice won 96 games in a season (2011 and 2018), though the latter season featured a tiebreaker win in Game No. 163."
The Milwaukee Brewers have the best record in the majors since the All-Star break and appear on track to clinch a top overall seed and first-round bye. The Brewers' current .614 winning percentage and projected best run differential exceed previous strong regular seasons, though those earlier seasons did not produce a championship. The Boston Red Sox have surged with a 19-12 record since Aug. 1, reentering the wild-card race and competing with the New York Yankees for seeding. Division titles and wild-card berths remain undecided, keeping September highly competitive as teams finalize postseason pushes.
