ESPN's 2026 predictions are here, and Brewers fans are already rolling their eyes. But here's where it gets controversial: the latest set of bold predictions for the 2026 MLB season published on ESPN.com includes a Pirates' NL Central title, which feels like a slap in the face for the Brewers. While the Pirates have made some impressive moves this offseason, adding offensive talent to their lineup, the prediction fails to acknowledge the Brewers' strong roster and their recent dominance in the division. The Brewers, who have won three-straight division titles, are expected to lose to the Pirates, who have finished in 4th or 5th place in the five-team division for the last nine seasons. This prediction is a bold one, but it's also a controversial one, as it ignores the reality of the Brewers' strong roster and their recent success. So, what do you think? Do you agree with ESPN's prediction, or do you think the Brewers will continue their dominance in the NL Central? Let us know in the comments!
