MLB Odds: Brewers vs. Cubs prediction, odds, pick
Jason Alexander is making his big-league debut for the Brewers. Brandon Woodruff is injured. Kyle Hendricks has a 5.20 ERA for Chicago this year. He has allowed 11 home runs in 53 2/3 innings. He is not a positive reason to take Chicago when making a Brewers Cubs pick. The current MLB odds are to favor the Cubs.
The Brewers lost to the Cubs 8-7 on Tuesday. Jason Alexander will start for the Brewers and give them a chance to win. Josh Hader will be the closer for them. The Brewers are going to take a 4-2 or 5-3 lead into the final few innings.
The Cubs won on Tuesday. They got swept in Monday's doubleheader. The opposing pitcher is making his big-league debut. Chicago has to work some counts and wait for Jason Alexander to make a mistake.
Neither pitcher merits real trust. If you want to make a pick, go conservative and take the Cubs plus a run and a half.
