Cubs vs Brewers Prediction

The Brewers are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Cubs but have lost two of their last three meetings in Milwaukee.

In this Cubs vs Brewers Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -210 home favorites. I like the Brewers in this one with Jacob Misiorowski on the mound, who is looking to bounce back off his worst start of the season against the same team a week ago. He has a 7-1 record and 1.62 ERA at home, while David Peterson has a 5.39 ERA and 1.56 WHIP this season and has given up 6 runs against the Brewers in the same matchup on September 2^nd. The Brewers also have a better bullpen to relief the Mizz, so I expect them to win this one comfortably and cover the runline.
