Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers continue to play very good baseball and they are one of the best teams in baseball.
They are 1st in the National League Central with a record of 68-46. They lead the Reds by 7 games.
Milwaukee did lose 2 out of 3 games to the Giants before this series. In those games, they scored 12 runs and allowed 15 runs.
Freddy Peralta pitched in game 1 on Tuesday and Aaron Ashby got the start in game 2.
At this time, there has been no starter named for the game on Thursday afternoon.
The pitching trio of Corbin Burnes, Freddy Peralta, and Brandon Woodruff has been excellent this year. The bullpen has also been impressive. As a team, the Brewers have an ERA of 3.31 which is 2nd best in the game.
The offense has also been impressive. They are scoring 4.53 runs per game which is 15th best in the majors.
Milwaukee has hit 138 home runs which is 14th best in the game.
Chicago Cubs
The Cubs have had a rough year and they continue to struggle.
They are 52-63 which puts them in 4th place of the National League Central. The Brewers lead them by 16.5 games.
Chicago got swept in a 3 game series vs. the White Sox over the weekend. In that series, the Cubs scored 9 runs and allowed 21 runs.
Justin Steele and Alec Mills were the starters in the Tuesday doubleheader.
Kyle Hendricks is once again having an impressive season. The right hander is 13-4 with a 3.68 ERA. His last start was against the White Sox where he went 6 innings and allowed 2 earned runs. The White Sox won this game 8-6.
Pitching for this team has not been great. They have an ERA of 4.35 which is 16th best in the majors.
Their offense has not been great as of late. This should not come as a surprise given that 3 of their best hitters are no longer there.
Chicago has hit 142 home runs which is 11th best in the majors.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs MLB Prediction:
The Brewers have been playing very well, while the Cubs have been struggling. I see that continuing in this game.
Milwaukee is the better team and I look for them to show that on Thursday. They should not lose to teams like the Cubs. One stat that stood out to me is the Cubs are 0-8 in their last 8 home games.
I look for the Brewers to do enough against Hendricks in this one to get a win. He is a tough pitcher, but I believe they will be able to hit him.
I will go with the Brewers on the run line.
