MLB Odds: Brewers-Cubs prediction, odds and pick

Brewers and Cubs are playing a three-game series at Wrigley Field. The Cubs won the last game 8-7. Freddy Peralta will start for the Brewers. Marcus Strowman will take the mound for Chicago. He is 2-1 with a 2.36 ERA over four career starts against the Milwaukee Brewers and has a 3.86 ERA in August. He has done well against them in 2022. His last start was a win.

The Brewers are 6-10 in August. They have an average offense and a poor pitching staff. Renfroe and Yelich have struggled at the plate. The Brewers will cover the spread if they get a good outing out of Peralta. They cannot make the playoffs if their offense does not execute on opportunities and they must keep the ball in the yard.

The Cubs are 8-6 against the Brewers in 2022. They are 5-3 against Milwaukee at Wrigley Field. Wisdom has struggled in August, batting .189 with three home runs, seven RBIs, and seven runs. Suzuki has been okay, but struggling in the August.

Strowman loves facing the Brewers. The Brewers are struggling and their inability to beat the Cubs has cost them valuable games in the playoff race.
