The Cubs landed a big acquisition this offseason in 2nd basement Ben Zobrist. Zobrist is hitting .317 this year with a team high .439 on base percentage while knocking in 28 runs already.
Anthony Rizzo is providing the power for the Cubs. Rizzo is hitting only .265 but has 11 bombs and 34 RBI’s, both in which lead the team.
The Cubs are led in pitching by Jake Arrieta, that’s apparent, but they also have another undefeated pitcher taking the hill in Jason Hammel. Hammel is currently 5-0 on the year with a 1.77 E.R.A and 36 strikeouts.
He was last in action against Pittsburgh in a victory. He threw 6.2 innings of work, giving up 8 hits but only 1 earned run. He also walked 2 batters and struck out 8. Hammel looks to stay perfect on Thursday.
Milwaukee Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers lineup is not bad overall, and they are led by the one and only, Ryan Braun. Braun is hitting a solid .364 with 7 dingers and 28 runs batted in.
Chris Carter is providing the boom for the Brewers this year; he has hit 11 home runs with 28 runs batted in. Carter is also hitting .256.
Johnathon Lucroy is producing at a fine level; he is hitting .311 with 6 home runs and 16 RBI’s. The Brewer’s lineup will have their hands full this series.

Free Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers MLB Prediction:
I don’t think this game is going to be very close overall. I think this Cubs team is head and above better than any team right now. Also their number 2 on the mound in Hammel will be tough for anyone to beat.
