2021 NLDS Preview: Brewers’ pitching staff will be stiff challenge for Braves

As the Atlanta Braves prepare to face the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLDS, we’re previewing the matchup all week. Today, we’ll focus on the Milwaukee pitching staff, which has been the third best in baseball this season by fWAR.

The Rotation

The Brewers’ rotation has been the best in baseball by fWAR, just barely edging out the Dodgers. This rotation is headlined by Corbin Burnes and Brandon Woodruff, with Freddy Peralta in the midst of a strong season himself and Eric Lauer likely to get the other start (assuming the series reaches Game 4)

Corbin Burnes has been absolutely unreal this season and is almost certain to be the Milwaukee Game 1 starter.
