Brewers Jump To #1 in the MLB Power Rankings

After stealing the last two games in Pittsburgh and taking the first game against the Padres, the Brewers find themselves in the midst of a three game winning streak.  Not only have the Brewers won their last three, but 13 of their last 16 contests have been victories as well. The jump to number one is not surprising as they have played well in every facet of the game. Aramis Ramirez has been a revelation at age 35 leading the league in batting with runners is scoring position. Ryan Braun has silenced boo birds on the road by hitting timely bombs, and the pitching has been stellar whether it's the starters or the bullpen. The Brewer's rotation has posted an ERA of 2.71 and the bullpen has posted their own 2.55, which lands them at 5th and 6th best in the league respectively. Just for thought: they are unbeaten (12-0) when they score four or more runs, a stat that speaks for itself.
