MLB Power Rankings: Milwaukee Brewers Soaring Near the Top

MLB Power Rankings this week feature the Milwaukee Brewers in the top five. The Milwaukee Brewers are currently atop the NL Central. The team has been on fire recently, winning nine out of their last 10. The Milwaukee Brewers hold a three-game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals for the divisional lead heading into a crucial three-game series in St. Louis.

The feeling of September will be in the air in St. Louis over the next three days. The Milwaukee Brewers can improve their MLB Power Ranking by winning on the road. If there has been one weak spot on the Brewers this year, it has been on the road.

The Milwaukee Brewers are currently 24-35 on the road this year. On the bright side, the Brewers are 8-6 on the road since the All-Star break. With this steady improvement on the road, the Milwaukee Brewers can solidify themselves in the MLB Power Rankings heading into the playoffs.

The Milwaukee Brewers have the best home record in MLB. At 41-15, this is how the Brewers have earned the right to be near the top of the MLB Power Rankings. The Milwaukee Brewers are also strong against the NL Central with a 31-18 record. 

Led by superstars Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder along with solid pitching, the Brewers are going to be tough to beat down the stretch. Fans are starting to believe in the 2011 Milwaukee Brewers. 

With a solid series against the St. Louis Cardinals, the Milwaukee Brewers will continue to creep up the MLB Power Rankings. The three-game series will be intense as the Brewers took two-of-three against the Cardinals last week in Milwaukee.

Control of the NL Central is at stake for the Milwaukee Brewers.
