The Milwaukee Brewers seem to find themselves in playoff contention every year.
This is an organization with a good front office that always seems to find pieces that fit.
One spot where the Brewers are atop the league is at starting pitching.
There may not be a better pitching staff in baseball than the one in Milwaukee.
According to Bob Nightengale, the Brewers’ top three starters have been dominant in their last three starts.
Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, and Freddy Peralta have combined for 23.1 innings and allowed only one run.

It is hard to beat the Brewers when their starting pitching is throwing that well.
Even though the Brewers do not have a scary lineup, they only need a few runs to win.
Pitching has always been one of the most important aspects of any team in the playoffs.
Having to face that pitching staff in any type of playoff series will be no easy task.
It is not just the starting pitching that stands out for the Brewers.
They also have one of the strongest bullpens in baseball.
They have the sixth-lowest bullpen ERA in baseball at 3.68.
It all starts with closer Devin Williams, who has taken his game to another level this year.
He is tied for fifth in baseball in saves with 33.
Also, he has a .139 batting average against and 79 strikeouts in 53.2 innings.
Williams has been everything the Brewers hoped for in his first season as the full-time closer.
Watch out for the Brewers come playoff time, they certainly have the pitching to beat anyone.
