All data from Baseball Reference and Stathead unless otherwise noted.
The Brewers had a team OPS of .742 in the three series. Their pitchers allowed .498 (I calculated that by doing a weighted average of the OPS they allowed in each of the three series-weighted by plate appearances and I used ABs + BBs for that).
So that gives them a differential of .244. Where does that rank since 1995? This table shows the top 5 from 1995-2025.

At .244, the 2026 Brewers would be second. Data from this table comes from bases.chat, the AI program created by SABR member Ted Ingram.
The Brewers also had 11 individual games during the 2026 post season when their OPS differential was at least .100, tying for the most since 1995. This next table has the top 10 from 1995-2025 (this is not limited to World Series winners)
