The Milwaukee Brewers have clinched the National League (NL) Central Division title for the second consecutive season, marking the first time in franchise history they have achieved back-to-back division championships. This victory also represents their third NL Central title in four years and their fourth in the last six full MLB seasons. The Brewers secured the title following a loss by the Chicago Cubs. This win guarantees the Brewers a playoff berth, making them the first MLB team to secure a spot in the postseason this year. The team overcame significant challenges, including a managerial change and multiple season-ending injuries, to achieve this milestone. This marks the Brewers' sixth playoff berth in seven years. Milwaukee was +700 to win the division on Opening Day.
