Mookie Betts reveals what makes Brewers legit World Series contenders: 'Good recipe over there'

Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts knows his team must adopt an urgent mindset in a tight NL West race with the San Diego Padres.

Another series, another sweep for the Milwaukee Brewers, as they took down the Pittsburgh Pirates, 12-5, on Wednesday night. 

That win made it 12 in a row for the team with the best record in MLB at 76-44. 

If you were to ask any baseball fan entering the season who would have the league's best record as the year turns toward the postseason, it's likely they wouldn't have said the Brewers. But that's the beautiful thing about the game – any team can emerge as not just a surprise winner, but a juggernaut poised for a World Series run.

Los Angeles Dodgers eight-time All-Star Mookie Betts admitted Milwaukee wasn't really on his mind at the start of the season. But after playing against them, he can totally understand where this success has come from. 

"At first, you’re a little surprised like, ‘Wow, they’re doing really well. They do all facets well.’ But when you play against them, you really see why. They have starting pitching, they have relieving, and they have speed, defense, timely hitting. They have belief in each other – you can definitely see they believe in each other. That’s a close-knit group over there."

While the Brewers may be considered a surprise team in 2025, Betts reminded everyone that they’ve been quite successful in recent seasons.
