Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
I’m on the Brewers in this one. Kyle Harrison has been really solid at home this season and while the Cubs have some strong numbers against left-handed pitching in recent weeks, they’re not as strong away from Wrigley Field and I still like what Harrison’s brought to the table. David Peterson makes his Cubs debut, but it wasn’t much of an add in my opinion and the Brewers bats are still some of the most consistent in all of baseball and I look for them to get the job done in this one too. Give me Milwaukee.
