At the onset of the 2025 season, there was a sense that the Brewers’ era of annual contention was over. Manager Craig Counsell, who is considered the best in the game, departed after the 2023 season. However, Pat Murphy maintained Milwaukee’s status as a baseball betting odds contender going into 2024. However, another playoff flop and tumult in the offseason initially had gamblers turning away. It was considered unlikely that Milwaukee would be among the most profitable teams on the MLB board in 2025. Previously, that was the case. But as July arrives, the Brewers continue to profit.
