#905/906 ASA TOP PLAY ON Under 7 Runs – Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs, Sunday at 2:20 PM ET - After the wind was blowing out at Wrigley in the first 2 meetings of this series, today it’s blowing in at 10 MPH which obviously makes a huge difference. Cubs won 8-7 in game 1 and due to the wind it seemed every routine fly ball had a chance to go out – 5 HR’s in that game. Chicago also won yesterday’s game 6-5, however it was 3-3 after 9 innings and they scored 5 in extras. The 2 teams combined for only 9 hits prior to extra innings yesterday. Cubs send Steele to the mound who has been pitching very well. He has allowed 0 ER’s in 3 of his last 4 starts and over his last 10 he is giving up just 1.5 ER’s in 5+ innings per start. He has a 2.75 ERA in 4 starts vs Milwaukee this season and the Brewers offense struggles big time vs lefties with a batting average of .219 which ranks them 29th out of 30 MLB teams. Woodruff takes the mound for Milwaukee and he is sporting a 2.75 ERA over his last 12 starts. Since May 1st, he has 14 starts under his belt and he’s allowed 3 ER’s or fewer in 13 of those game. Lifetime vs current Cubs hitters, Woodruff has allowed a batting average of only .194. Steele has been even better vs current Milwaukee hitters allowing a batting average of just .183 lifetime. After these 2 combined for 7 HR’s over the first 2 meetings in this series, with the wind blowing in and 2 starters pitching at a very high level, the long ball will be tough today. Under in this one.
