The Milwaukee Brewers will visit the Chicago Cubs in the second game of their series in the National League Central division matchup from Wrigley Field on Friday Afternoon. The weather is expected to be humid with no rain. Yesterday’s game was postponed and will be made up on May 30th.
Andrew McCutchen, Willy Adames and Rowdy Tellez each had two hits for Milwaukee, and Lorenzo Cain drove in two runs. Kyle Hendricks had a 1.69 ERA and 7 strikeouts in their last game.
Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta will be the starter for this one. Last season he averaged a 2.81 ERA. He had 195 strikeouts and a 0.97 whip.
Ian Happ had three hits, including a tiebreaking two-run double in the seventh inning while Corbin Burnes had a 5.4 ERA and 4 strikeouts.
Cubs right-hander Marcus Stroman will start on Friday afternoon. Last season averaged a 3.02 ERA with 158 strikeouts and a 1.15 whip.
Ian Happ will have to have another great game if the Cubs want to win this next one. Someone is going to have to crank out a homer for the Brewers if they should be able to put fear in the eyes in the hearts of the Cubs in the one.
The Brewers are 8-2 in their last 10 road games with the total set at 6.5 or lower and are 36-15 in their last 51 Saturday games. The Brewers are also 12-5 in their last 17 during game 2 of a series. The Cubs are 7-19 in their last 26 home games vs. a right-handed starter and are 2-6 in their last 8 during game 2 of a series.
The over is 4-1-1 and is 3-1-1 in the Brewers last 5 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game.last 6 road games and this is what the Brewers should look to if they want to pull out the win here.
The Brewers were close to getting the win in the first one and I think they can make the necessary adjustments in this next one to go out and get the win. If they can pick it up on offense they should be able to squeeze out a win. I’ll back the Brewers here in this one.
