AMEDEUS' MLB GOLD STRIKE!
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. Milwaukee,
Money Line: -109.00 Milwaukee (Home)
Result: Loss
The Cubs are coming into this game with a 38-45 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They are coming off of a 4-2 loss against the Brewers to open up this series on Friday and they have also lost 5 of their last 6 games as well. Their offense has not been good in these games either as they have scored 3 runs or less in 3 of their last 4 games. They are going up against a Brewers team that is 49-33 this season and they have been playing well in their recent games. They have won their last 5 straight games as they are heating up now, and their offense has been very good in these games as well. They have scored at least 6 runs in 3 of their last 5 games, but their pitching has also been great as they have allowed 2 runs or less in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 runs or less in 4 of their last 5 games. Justin Steele is starting for the Cubs in this game and he is 0-3 with a 3.08 ERA this season. He was struggling to start the season as he allowed a lot of runs in May. He has been better in June, but he has still allowed at least 2 earned runs in each of his last 2 starts as well as allowing at least 2 runs in 4 of his last 5 starts. He has not been awful recently, but he is still going to get himself into trouble with the way the Brewers are scoring runs right now, and the Cubs offense has not been great recently so they will struggle to keep up. Tobias Myers is starting for the Brewers and he is 5-2 with a 3.12 ERA this season. He has been very good all season as he has not allowed many runs in his starts, and he has been very consistent as well. He has allowed just 1 earned run or less in each of his last 4 starts as well as 7 of his last 8 starts. He has also won all 4 of his starts in June as the team has scored at least 5 runs in each of those and never allowed more than 4 runs total in any of those 4 games. The Cubs are not hitting well right now so they are going to struggle against Myers at home who has been very consistent this season, and the Brewers have the better offense to do some damage against Steele and the Cubs bullpen. The Brewers will win this game.
