The Cubs' biggest strength has been their offense. They have scored 401 runs while collecting 676 hits and 96 home runs, all of which are solid offensive totals. Their ability to reach base with a .336 on-base percentage has also helped them remain productive despite the recent loss in this series.
Milwaukee Continues an Outstanding Season
Milwaukee comes into the matchup with a 50-29 overall record and a 26-15 home record. The Brewers recently defeated Chicago and have also won four straight games against Cincinnati and Atlanta before returning home. That gives Milwaukee five consecutive victories entering Sunday's contest.
The Brewers are batting .255 with 413 runs, 683 hits, and 72 home runs. They own a .339 on-base percentage and a .395 slugging percentage. Their pitching staff has been outstanding with a 3.36 ERA, a 1.18 WHIP, 777 strikeouts, 266 walks, and a .219 opponent batting average. Milwaukee has also posted a 19-11 record in day games.
The biggest strength for Milwaukee is clearly its pitching. The Brewers have the lowest ERA and WHIP of the two clubs while also holding opponents to just a .219 batting average. Combined with their strong home record and current winning streak, those numbers make Milwaukee a difficult matchup.
Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers Picks and Prediction
Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers Pick
- Pick: Milwaukee Brewers Moneyline
Milwaukee is my selection because the Brewers own the better overall record, the stronger home record, the higher matchup predictor percentage, and the better team pitching statistics. Chicago has played well recently, winning four of its last five games, but Milwaukee enters this matchup on a five-game winning streak and has consistently been one of the stronger teams based on the supplied numbers.
Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers Total Pick
- Take the under if the total is set at 8.5.
I like the under because Milwaukee has been outstanding on the mound this season, posting a 3.36 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP while limiting opponents to a .219 batting average. Brandon Woodruff has also been effective with a 3.00 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP, and those numbers suggest a lower-scoring game.
Final Score Prediction: Milwaukee Brewers 5 – Chicago Cubs 3
