Pick

I’m backing the Brewers here. I just can’t deal with the Cubs anymore. Just when you think the Cubs have things figures out, they’ve now lost 3 straight and 7 of 8. The Cubs can’t play the Pirates 162 times a year and they have to figure that out. Milwaukee isn’t the most consistent team, but they’re in much better form right now winning 7 of 9 and I think they snag another win here. Give me the Brew Crew.
