Last year, the Milwaukee Brewers made the baseball betting odds playoffs for the fifth time in six years. But, the manager who led Milwaukee to its greatest era is gone. Hometown hero Craig Counsell took his talents to the hated rival Chicago Cubs. As a result, Pat Murphy is the new Brewers manager. Murphy has huge shoes and expectations to fill. But in the weaker National League Central Division the Brewers stand a decent chance of staying in the hunt. On Friday, the Brewers take on the Baltimore Orioles. Baltimore is coming off its first postseason since 2016.
