Milwaukee – The Milwaukee Brewers have clinched the best record in baseball for the 2025 MLB season, securing home-field advantage throughout the postseason. This significant achievement comes after the Brewers’ magic number to secure the top seed fell to one game, following a victory against the San Diego Padres. They needed either a win or a loss by the Philadelphia Phillies in the remaining games to clinch the coveted position. However, the Phillies’ victories against the Miami Marlins and Minnesota Twins complicated the Brewers’ clinching efforts over the weekend.
Despite this setback, the Brewers solidified their top seed in the National League with a record of 96 wins after they ultimately lost to the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday. In a tie with the Phillies, who also ended the season with 96 wins, the Brewers hold the tiebreaker advantage due to a successful 4-2 record in their season series against Philadelphia. This marks a significant milestone as it is the first time since 1982 that the Brewers have finished a season with the best record in MLB.
Throughout the 2025 season, the Brewers have demonstrated remarkable performance, including a franchise-record 14-game winning streak. They also became the first team in the league to qualify for the postseason, achieving this on September 13. They went on to secure the NL Central division title by September 21. With a shot at a franchise-record 97 wins in their final game, the team has showcased one of the best pitching staffs in the league, complemented by a strong offense, solidifying their position as a formidable opponent in the upcoming playoffs.
As they prepare for the playoffs, the Brewers will be hosting the first game of the NL Division Series against the winner of the Padres-Cubs NL Wild Card Series. One of the advantages of clinching the best record includes receiving a bye for the first round of the playoffs, which affords them six days off before entering the Division Series. Their performance at home has been impressive, with the Brewers winning at least 50 home games and maintaining the best road record in the league.
Despite their recent loss against the Reds and some struggles as they head into postseason play, including injuries to key players such as closer Trevor Megill and starters Brandon Woodruff and Jose Quintana, the team remains confident in their ability to compete at a high level. Manager Pat Murphy expressed assurance in his team’s capabilities as they prioritize readiness for the upcoming playoff challenges.
In light of all these achievements, the Milwaukee Brewers have not only set records this season but have also shown resilience and determination as they look to make a deep run into the postseason. With their sights set on success, fans eagerly await the team’s performance as they aim for the ultimate prize.
