The Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers meet Saturday in MLB action at Miller Park. The Cubs need a win after losing six of their last seven games. The Brewers look for a win after winning eight of their last 11 games.

The Chicago Cubs have scored 18 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six straight games. The Cubs have lost five of their last six games when scoring four or more runs. Ian Happ leads the Cubs with 92 hits and 55 RBI while Willson Contreras and Patrick Wisdom have combined for 161 hits and 99 RBI. Justin Steele gets the ball, and he is 3-3 with a 4.17 ERA and 43 strikeouts this season. Steele is 0-1 with a 3.68 ERA and five strikeouts in his career against the Brewers.

The Milwaukee Brewers have scored nine runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last eight games. The Brewers have won seven straight games when scoring four or more runs. Avisail Garcia leads the Brewers with 116 hits and 82 RBI while Luis Urias and Kolten Wong have combined for 225 hits and 114 RBI. Corbin Burnes gets the ball, and he is 10-4 with a 2.25 ERA and 210 strikeouts this season. Burnes is 2-1 with a 3.38 ERA and 50 strikeouts in his career against the Cubs.

The Cubs are 4-9 in their last 13 Saturday games and 13-39 in their last 52 games as an underdog. The Brewers are 9-2 in their last 11 during game 2 of a series and 38-15 in their last 53 Saturday games. The over is 4-1 in Cubs last 5 overall. The under is 3-1-1 in Brewers last 5 Saturday games. The Cubs are 8-21 in the last 29 meetings.

The Cubs hot offense makes them worth a look in the plus money role, but they’re losing games left and right despite the crooked numbers. Burnes has also been money all season long, and he’s allowed just 27 hits and nine earned runs in his last 46 innings. There’s no betting against the Brewers here. Give me the home team and the RL for max betting value.
