Cubs vs Brewers Prediction
I cosndired the under in this spot because of the pitching matchup, but I’m rolling with the Brewers and the cheap price. While Brown has been great with a 1.60 ERA and 0.86 WHIP, but he’s pitched just 33.2 innings. Through 51 frames, Misiorowski has a 2.12 ERA and 0.90 WHIP, and he leads the league with 80 strikeouts. In his last 18.1 innings, Misiorowski has allowed 6 hits and 0 runs. He’s one of the best arms in the sport and not a pitcher you’re going to get with cheap prices often. Give me the Brewers.
