Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Brewers fans and fans across the country. Sign up here<\/a> to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.<\/p>\n

In this week\u2019s Reacts survey, we asked fans to grade the Brewers at the unofficial midpoint. The results were about what you\u2019d expect:<\/p>\n

The Brewers, who currently sit at 59-37 with a five-game lead in the NL Central and the second-best record in baseball, overwhelmingly received positive grades in the poll, with 86% of votes coming at A- or higher. The \u201cA\u201d grade finished at the top with 41% because, after all, there\u2019s always room for improvement.<\/p>\n

Rather than rehashing how well the Brewers have done this season, I decided to take a look at the grades and expectations of others around the league at this point.<\/p>\n

To begin, you can take a look at our staff midseason awards and grades<\/a>, where you\u2019ll see that five of our six contributors gave Milwaukee an A (with only Jackson putting them at an A-).<\/p>\n

The Athletic<\/a> also released their latest poll results this morning, as 21\/22 voters picked Milwaukee to win the NL Central (the lone other vote went to Chicago), all 22 voters said Milwaukee will make the postseason, 3\/22 picked Milwaukee to win the NL pennant, and 2\/22 picked the Brewers to win the World Series. Also of note: 3\/22 voters picked the Brewers to finish the season with the most wins, 4\/22 picked the Brewers to win at least 100 games (a threshold the franchise has never achieved), and 13\/22 picked Milwaukee as their \u201cdark horse\u201d World Series contender. Lastly, 15\/22 picked Jacob Misiorowski to win NL Cy Young, with Cristopher S\u00e1nchez picking up six votes and Shohei Ohtani receiving one vote.<\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s second-half preview<\/a> includes the Brewers as one of \u201cThe Big Four,\u201d alongside the Dodgers, Rays, and Braves. They give Milwaukee a projected final record of 98-64, with 16.5% odds to win the World Series, second to only the Dodgers\u2019 27.5%.<\/p>\n

Bleacher Report<\/a> released a list of bold predictions for each team, and they picked Jacob Misiorowski to set the franchise strikeout record, which currently sits at 264 by Ben Sheets back in 2004.<\/p>\n

Lastly, I\u2019ll just mention that FanDuel Sportsbook<\/a> currently gives the Brewers -600 odds to win the NL Central (bet $600 to win $100), +270 odds to win 100-plus games (bet $100 to win $270), and +1100 odds to win the World Series (bet $100 to win $1100), tied with the Mariners for the fourth-best odds in baseball, behind only the Dodgers, Yankees, and Braves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB.
