Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs Prediction

I considered the Cubs at home, but they've underachieved over the last month or so and while Javier Assad has been solid this season, you can make a strong argument Tobias Myers has been better. The Brewers are simply the safer bet because they've been the better, more consistent team and their offense has been on a tear over their last few games. Give me the Brewers in game 1 against the Cubs.
