April closes and May begins with four games against the Los Angeles Dodgers, champions of the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. In the off-season, the Brewers firmed up their infield by acquiring second baseman Kolten Wong, a nemesis for the Brew Crew when he played for Central Division rival St. Louis. Also acquired was free-agent outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr., who had very strong years with Boston. Wong anchors a much stronger infield with former second baseman Keston Hiura moving to first, Orlando Arcia at shortstop and Travis Shaw at third. The outfield is projected to have Bradley in right field, joining returning Christian Yelich in left and Lorenzo Cain in center. The offensive and defensive improvements, along with solid starting and relief pitching, prompts baseball writer Will Leitch to call the Brewers one of six teams "virtually guaranteed to have a better winning percentage than they did last year." Barring injuries to 2019 National League MVP Yelich or to starting pitchers, he and other MLB writers see the Brewers and the Cardinals as favorites in the National League's Central Division.
