The Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers face off on Thursday to kick off the MLB season at Wrigley Field. For two teams that hope to be winning the National League Central, this is a key early season showdown.
Chicago Cubs
After a disappointing 2021 season the hope is the Chicago Cubs can take a step forward this year. This is a team that has really changed the last few years and they are going to need to lean on 1-9 in the lineup.
Wilson Contreras is still a part of the squad and he will be leaned on heavily. The Cubs brought in Seiya Suzuki from Japan and there is a lot of buzz about what he will do in the MLB. They also need Frank Schwindel and Patrick Wisdom to have big seasons.
Getting the start for the Cubs will be Kyle Hendricks and in the last game he finished with a 14-7 record and an ERA of 4.77. He pitched 11.1 innings during spring training and he had a 9.53 ERA and nine strikeouts.
Milwaukee Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers finished the 2021 season with a 93-69 record and that was enough to win the NL Central. Gone from last year’s team is Avisaíl García but the team brought in Hunter Renfroe.
Brewers catcher Pedro Severino tested positive for PED’s and has been suspended. This is a team that has a talented offense, but even more impressive is the pitching, and that is going to be what they lean on in this game.
Getting the start for the Brewers is Corbin Burnes and last season he finished with an 11-5 record and he has a 2.43 ERA. During Spring Training he pitched in three games for 14 innings and finished with a 4.50 ERA. He had 19 strikeouts also.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- Brewers are 0-6 in their last 6 road games.
- Cubs are 0-5 in their last 5 during game 1 of a series.
- Brewers are 0-5 in their last 5 Thursday games.
- Brewers are 9-0 in Burnes’ last 9 starts during game 1 of a series.
Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers MLB Prediction:
These are two starting pitchers that I trust, and that is going to lead to this game being lower scoring. I really don’t trust the Cubs offense, and the Brewers offense is fine, but I don’t see them putting up six or seven runs in this game. Look for a 3-2 or 4-2 type of game, and the under is going to cash.
