They have a balanced lineup and bullpen, decent
bench players, and a very good starting rotation. Can anyone catch them?

Best team in a weak division, theirs to lose.

Not good, based on their past. They've been off to great starts before. Their last winning season was 1992! Since then, they've gotten off to several hot starts like this year, only to finish with winning percentages in the low 400's.
5/3/94
5/10/95
4/21/96
6/4/97
5/1/98
On these dates, they were still in first place, only to tank as I noted above. They're 4-8 in their last 12, so they are already starting to tank. Their talent is equal to any other team in the division, so there is no reason to think they will win it.

They look solid right now and baring any serious long term key injuries they should finish no less than second in the division at this rate.
The only team that could catch them if they get hot is Houston.
If the Astros get it going they could be a problem for the Brewers.

I don't think the Brewers winning the Central is as much a credit to them as it is an indictment on how bad the rest of that division is. I don't think Houston, Chicago, or St. Louis have the weapons or consistency to catch them. What they do in October is anybody's guess.

Good, but lets see how they do after this road trip that they are on right now, if they win more then half the games I'll pick'em for the rest of the season.

There is still a lotttttt of time left this year. Injuries can really screw a team up, but if they can stay healthy they look to be in pretty good shape.

They will take the division being that it is weak however they will get slaughtered when they face competition in the playoffs

50-50 chance they pull it out until the end of the regular season.

I'd say pretty good.
They are on FIRE (though they are cooling off a little). Their division is pretty weak, so I wouldn't be surprised if they won.
