Brewers vs Cubs Prediction
The Brewers are 6-3 in their last 9 meetings against the Cubs and are 4-1 in their last 5 visits in Chicago.
In this Brewers vs Cubs Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -155 road favorites. I like the Brewers to keep rolling in this one with the best pitcher in baseball on the mound in Jacob Misiorowski. David Peterson has been good for the Cubs lately but still sits on a 2-4 record and 6.16 ERA at home this season and the Cubs also have a weaker bullpen. The Brewers have been in good form with a 5-2 record in their last 7 games, while the Cubs are 2-5 in their last 7, so give me the Brewers with the Mizz on the mound in this one.
