Money Line: -114.00 Milwaukee (Home)
Result: Win
The Cubs are coming into this game with a 27-26 record this season but they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 4 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 games and their offense has been averaging less than 3 runs scored per game in that span. They are going up against a Brewers team that is 30-22 this season and has been playing much better in their recent games. They are coming off of a loss in their last game, but they will be hungry to bounce back after that close 2-1 loss as they have still won 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games. Their pitching has been great in those games as well as they have been averaging 2 runs allowed per game in their last 4 games. The bullpen has been pitching well for the Brewers and they also have a very good starter on the mound here. Robert Gasser is starting for the Brewers in this game and he is 2-0 with a 2.65 ERA this season. He is only in his rookie season and has made just 3 starts this season, but he has allowed 1 earned run or less in 2 of his 3 starts this year. He is coming off of his worst start of the season as he allowed 4 earned runs in 6 innings against the Marlins, but that start was also his 1st MLB road start and he has been much better in his 2 home starts this season so he will bounce back in this game. Justin Steele is starting for the Cubs in this game and he is not the same stud he was last season as he is 0-2 with a 5.68 ERA this year. He was pitching well in his first 2 starts of the season, but he has been downhill since then as he has allowed at least 4 earned runs in each of his last 3 starts. The Brewers have had a good offense to start the season and they are going to score runs in this game with the way Steele has been pitching recently, and the Brewers have the much better pitching matchup here to carry them to a victory at home. The Brewers will win this game at home.
