Our pick for this Brewers vs. Cubs matchup is to go with the Cubs on the money line at -116. We have the Cubs winning this one by a final score of 4-3, giving us some wiggle room with the over/under line sitting at 8.5 runs.
I like the pitching today to “Trump” the bats.
Looking at the starting pitchers, our projections have Jacob Misiorowski finishing with more strikeouts than the Cubs starter, Jameson Taillon.
However, we have Taillon finishing with a better chance of picking up the win and finishing with a lower ERA. Cubs get it done at home today!
