The Brewers got off to a bit of an uneven start in August but had a great second half of the month: from August 15th on they won 13 of 15 games, including a 10-game winning streak.

With the Phoenix Speed Devils finally hitting a rough patch at the same time (they lost 10 of 16 from August 15th on), the Brewers have now taken over 1st place by 5 games over the second place Speed Devils.
As we enter the last month of the season, more than half of the teams in the MGL have been mathematically eliminated from contention. (While no team in the SJL is yet technically out of contention.)

As good as the Brewers are playing, they are still underachieving their pythagorean expect record by 5 wins. In not one major offensive or defensive/pitching category are the Brewers any lower than 3rd best in the MGL. The Brewers have a solid lead in runs scored with 606 while the next best in the MGL is Phoenix with 582.
But as is usual, it is in pitching that the team really shines greatest. The team ERA of 2.39 is by far the lowest in the league, with the next best being L.A. at 3.02. The league ERA is 3.54. The Brewers have given up 367 runs, nearly 100 fewer than the next best (L.A., at 459.) Brewers pitchers have allowed opponents a combined batting average of .228 (league BA is .250).

While the Brewers remain particularly spectacular at home (.746 winning percentage), the road record is also very solid (.620.) They have mostly evened out now against lefthanded and righthanded starting pitchers, indicating that the team is becoming more balanced offensively.

Jamison Bash (.304/.397/.602) continues to rake at the plate, leading in HR's with 36 (next best in all of the WPK is 28).

Chad Brown continues his great season at the plate and in the field. Brown has a slash line of .333/.359/.449, is third in the MGL in batting average, has hit 18 doubles, 9 triples, 5 HR's, and has stolen 25 bases while being caught just 7 times.

Ryan Rodgers has been hitting better of late and drawing more walks, and while he won't put up the kind of offensive numbers he did in 1970, his slash line of .308/.411/.390 is very solid and he plays a great leftfield. He also leads the team in doubles at 23.

Cheol-han Lee is now 15-5 with an ERA of 2.28, 3rd best in the MGL. He easily leads the MGL in WAR among pitchers at 6.7.

Daniel Torres is still leading the league in ERA at 2.00 and has an impressive 14-3 win/loss record.
