Cubs vs Brewers Prediction
The Cubs are 4-2 in their last 6 meetings against the Brewers and have won their last two visits in Milwaukee.
In this Cubs vs Brewers Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -120 home favorites. I don’t like the pitching in this matchup, as both starters have a 4+ ERA and both have not been in good form lately. Boyd has given up 14 runs in three of his last four starts and Gasser has given up 12 runs across his last four starts. Both teams have been playing high-scoring games lately and they are 14-4 to the over in their last 18 games combined and they have been excellent against lefties lately, with 13.9 runs combined in their last 10 games, while both bullpens have been shaky at best. Take the over 8.5 in this one.
