The Milwaukee Brewers will take on their N Central rivals, the Chicago Cubs in a three-game set. The Cubs will turn to Kyle Hendricks to mark the start. He is 1-1 with a 3.94 ERA so far this season. The Brewers will counter with Adrian Houser, who is 1-2 with a 3.52 ERA.

Hendricks gave up two hits and no runs in seven innings, in his last outing leading to a 21-0 win over the Pirates. He has made one road start and it did not go well. He gave up six runs in 3.2 innings. As a team, the Cubs have a team ERA of 3.94 runs. Houser gave up five hits and three runs in six innings in his last outing. As a team, the Brewers have posted an ERA of .3.34 ERA.

The Brewers have won five of their last six games and four straight home games. The offense has come alive over the last three games as they have scored 18 runs over that time. Hendricks is not the same pitcher on the road and will struggle to cool down the Brewers bats in this one. The Cubs have lost three of their last five road games. Houser has given up two runs in four appearances against the Cubs. Milwaukee is 7-3 in its last 10 games against Chicago.

Play on Milwaukee. This is a 6* play.
