Brewers Sweep Dodgers, Smash Expectations in NL Central Shakeup
Baseball fans, we’ve got a shakeup in the MLB standings that’s as real as it gets — and it’s coming straight out of Milwaukee. The Brewers just swept the Los Angeles Dodgers again — yes, again — and are now tied for first in the NL Central with the Chicago Cubs. Not only that, but the Brewers have officially leapfrogged the Dodgers in overall record and surged to No. 3 in the latest USA TODAY Sports power rankings. That’s not just a hot streak — it’s a statement.

It also throws a wrench in the ongoing labor and financial debate around the league. With commissioner Rob Manfred and team owners pushing for a salary cap ahead of the looming 2026 CBA fight, the Brewers are the worst-case scenario — at least from the billionaire’s perspective. They’re proving you don’t need a monster payroll to win; you need strategy, grit, and execution. While the Dodgers are dealing with a laundry list of injuries, the Brewers are just playing clean, efficient, high-level baseball.
Isaac Collins — not a household name — went 5-for-12 in the Dodgers sweep. That’s the kind of depth contribution winning teams get. Meanwhile, Milwaukee is riding a 10-game win streak and looking like a sure thing for their seventh playoff appearance in eight seasons. That’s consistency. That’s culture.
The power rankings now reflect what we’re seeing: Detroit holds the top spot with Tarik Skubal carrying the load, the Cubs slugging their way to second, and now Milwaukee rising three spots into the top three. Meanwhile, the Dodgers drop down to No. 5, licking their wounds. LA still has Freddie Freeman and star power, but the cracks are showing.
The Brewers are making believers out of doubters, showing that baseball is still a game where smart, hungry teams can take down the giants. Whether you love the underdog story or you’re worried about your preseason predictions, one thing’s for sure — this Milwaukee team is real, and the rest of the league better pay attention.
