How many games will the Milwaukee Brewers win in the 60-game 2020 MLB season? We look at the Brewers‘ MLB futures odds, including their projected 2020 win total and Over/Under odds at BetMGM, and make our best bet.
Milwaukee Brewers’ 2019 recap
Behind yet another MVP-caliber season by OF Christian Yelich, the Brewers put together a nice campaign in 2019 by going 89-73 and making the playoffs as a wild-card team. They lost to the eventual World Series champion Washington Nationals in the wild-card round, but Milwaukee still had an encouraging season.
The Brewers finished 45-31 in the NL Central, but they weren’t very good against the spread (81-81 ATS).
Milwaukee Brewers’ offseason
The Brewers’ biggest signing was OF Avasail Garcia. They also brought in 1B Justin Smoak and utility player Brock Holt, and acquired C Omar Navaez from the Mariners.
They lost SPs Chase Anderson and Zach Davies in trades, however, as well as C Yasmani Grandal and 3B Mike Moustakas to free agency.
Milwaukee Brewers’ 2020 schedule
The Brewers’ 60-game schedule will consist of 40 games against the National League Central and 20 against the American League Central. The season will begin July 24 and conclude Sept. 27.
Their stiffest competition will be the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals in the division, and they’ll have tough matchups with the Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Indians in the AL.

How many games will the Milwaukee Brewers win in 2020?
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday, July 7 at noon ET.
The Brewers are projected to finish right around .500, according to BetMGM, with their Over/Under line set at 30.5 wins. This is a team with a ton of potential, but also plenty of question marks, particularly in the rotation.
Yelich won’t be able to carry this team on his own, and with the players they saw depart this offseason, it’ll be hard for them to make the playoffs. I’d take the UNDER (-110).
Milwaukee Brewers’ World Series odds
The Brewers’ odds to win the World Series sit at +4000, which is in the bottom half of the league. They’re simply not deep enough or talented enough to contend for a championship this year, so I’d pass.
Milwaukee Brewers’ playoff odds
The Brewers have the fourth-best odds to win the NL Central at +300. It’s a fairly tightly contested division, but even still, the Brewers are going to have a hard time reaching the playoffs by way of a division title. The Cubs or Cardinals at +240 are a better bet in the NL Central.
