The Brewers pulled off a trade to help the Mets but they might not be so hospitable at home to the Cubbies.

Chicago

The Cubs are going to be in a battle to make the playoffs. It seems like all the teams around them are making moves but they have yet to pull the trigger on anything just yet.

I don’t see the Cubs being able to make it if they don’t improve. A lot of the pitchers they have been depending upon don’t have the best track records and their best hitters don’t have a lot of experience.

Plus is it not going to help that the Cubbies must have a bunch of games against St. Louis and Pittsburgh. That is what they need to bridge the gap but the odds aren’t in their favour.

Jake Arrieta has definitely been one of the seasons that Chicago has been better than expected this season. He leads the team in wins, ERA and strikeout, taking on the mantle of ace while Jon Lester adjusts to the National League. He has allowed more then three runs just once in his last 10 starts.

Brewers

The Brewers just made a nice deal with the Mets giving up Carlos Gomez. The season was already lost and they were in the lower half offensively and things are about to get worse in that department.

On the bright side pitcher Zach Wheeler could be a coup, a front of the rotation guy that is hard to find. If he is healthy.

The Dodgers are a funny team. With the money they are spending they should be loaded but they are top heavy in the rotation and the lineup only really has one elite bat.

Things have been bad in Brew Town and they are about to get worse. Look for them to make another move or two before Friday too.

Jimmy Nelson has not been very good for most of this season but he leads Milwaukee in wins with eight. In two of his last three starts he has not allowed a single run so maybe he has corrected something .

The Brewers are 1-1 when Nelson starts against the Cubs this season. He has been able to get whiffs against their young lineup.

MLB Betting Trends:

  • CHC are 7-3 in their last 10 road games.
  • CHC are 6-2 in Arrietas last 8 Thu. starts.
  • Under is 5-2-1 in Arrietas last 8 on grass.
  • MIL are 3-8 in their last 11 Thu. games.
  • MIL are 3-9 in Nelsons last 12 home starts.

4* MLB Betting Prediction: Chicago -135

Milwaukee has been a fade all season and will continue to be.

MLB Baseball Score Prediction: Chicago 4 – Milwaukee 1

Chicago is not a great value here but I will take it. Arrieta is developing a reputation so it is getting harder and harder to capitalize.
