Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs Prediction

The Cubs are playing the better baseball right now, and Taillon has been strong this season with his 3.56 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. However, the Brewers are worth a look with Misiorowski on the mound, a top-100 prospect who flashed positives in his MLB holding, holding the Cardinals to zero hits and zero runs in five innings. It’s just one start, but it checks out with how hyped up Misiorowski is by scouts. I’ll take a stab with the Brewers.
