Milwaukee Brewers Betting Preview

The Brewers (74-57) have shown they are a very tough and scrappy team, and they have played very well this season as they lead the NL Central, with these same Cubs nipping at their heels. 

The Brewers will not blow you away with their offense, but they are a very balanced offense that can score runs using the longball or they can manufacture runs too. They are starting to pull away from the Cubs and Monday's win was a nice start. 

On offense, they are led by shortstop Willy Adames who has put forth a very strong season as he has clubbed 21 home runs while driving in 62 runs for the Brewers, who are hitting just .218 on the season as a club. 

They will send out veteran Corbin Burnes who sports a mark of 9-6 to go along with an ERA of 3.65 on the season. He has fanned 160 hitters in 158 frames of work. The brewers as a whole have a team ERA of 3.99. 

Chicago Cubs Betting Preview

The Cubs (69-62) looked like a dead team a month or so ago, but they have picked the best time over that span to play their best baseball of the season. They have played themselves right into contention in the division and if anything, they have also positioned themselves nicely for a playoff berth as a potential wild-card team. They sit five games behind Milwaukee.  

They have a nice balanced attack on offense, as they have several sluggers who have cracked 15 or more home runs already. They are led  on offense by 

They will send out hurler Justin Steele who has compiled a wonderful record of 14-3 on the season to go along with an ERA of 2.80. He is pitching like a Cy Young candidate and has struck out a career-high 133 in 138 innings of work. 

He needs to get ahead of the count and contain this red-hot lineup of the Brewers and give the Cubs at least six plus innings of work today.
