Brewers Currenty Have Three of the Top Four Best ERAs in the National League
Milwaukee Brewers fell on Sunday night to the Chicago White Sox. The Crew still took two out of three which is perfectly fine. That is all you want when you’re playing at home. That is a good weekend for Milwaukee even if the sweep did not happen. On Saturday, Corbin Burnes qualified to have enough innings to be considered with Brandon Woodruff and Freddy Peralta for best ERAs in the National League and MLB. When the dust was settled from this weekend, the Brewers have three of the top four guys in the National League, and in the MLB, it is the best three of the best six. They were 3 of 5 until Lance Lynn had his performance yesterday plus Woodruff giving up three runs. Here’s what it looks like in the National League.
1. Corbin Burnes (MIL)
2. Brandon Woodruff (MIL)
3. Kevin Gausman (SF)
4. Freddy Peralta (MIL)
5. Walker Buehler (LAD)
Even if we put Jacob deGrom here who does not currently qualify, Milwaukee still has three of the top five. Walker Buehler of the Los Angeles Dodgers would be the odd man out. The one thing I wonder about for the Brewers is will this affect the Cy Young voting? These three guys will likely split the vote. Will that make it easier for a guy like Buehler or Kevin Gausman to win the award? I hope not. Maybe one of them will emerge as the premier guy. Woodruff is the Game 1 starter without question, but Burnes is probably more worthy at this point for the Cy Young. It’s a great debate to have with your friends.
