Milwaukee Brewers Recap

The Milwaukee Brewers will be looking to bounce back after starting the series with a 3-1 loss at the hands of the Cubs in Monday’s opener. The loss wasn’t ideal for the Brewers who are trying to follow up on their two-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins to start the second half of the season.

Going into Monday, William Contreras leads the Brewers with 110 hits including 23 doubles and 56 RBIs along with 11 home runs and a .350 OBP while Rhys Hoskins has 15 home runs with 48 RBIs and Willy Adames has 24 doubles with 15 home runs and 67 RBIs. Brice Turang leads the Brewers with 30 stolen bases while Adames has a team-high 97 strikeouts as well this season. Christian Yelich also has 11 home runs, 42 RBIs, 3 triples and 21 stolen bases while Jackson Chourio’s added 10 homers and 40 RBIs.

Nico Hoerner has 90 hits, 19 doubles and a .258 batting average while Christopher Morel has a team-high 18 home runs and 51 RBIs.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs Prediction

I’m on the Brewers here. I was on the Brewers on Monday and Milwaukee fell short, but in the end I trust Milwaukee’s lineup a heck of a lot more than I trust the Cubs who are winning games, but there’s only so many teams you can beat only scoring three runs or less in the game. Milwaukee more often than not, is not one of those teams. I think the Brewers get back on track and get revenge here. Give me the Brewers.
