Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee Brewers Preview & Picks

Milwaukee are tipped to pile on the misery for Chicago.

The Brewers have been in good form against division opponents recently, while the Cubs' playoff quest has imploded.

  • Milwaukee are 5-1 in their last 6 games against NL Central teams
  • Chicago Cubs are 6-13 in their last 19 games overall
  • The Under has cashed in 8 of Milwaukee's last 9 home games
  • The Under has hit in 8 of Chicago's last 13 road games

Head To Head

  • The regular season series is tied 5-5
  • Chicago Cubs won 3-2 when the two teams last met on August 30

Chicago Cubs Form

Chicago come into this game in desperate need of a win, having lost 13 of their previous 19 games.

The Cubs’ playoff quest suffered a setback earlier this month as they lost three times at home to Arizona, before going on a five-game skid on the road.

They lost twice in Colorado before travelling to Arizona to get swept by the Diamondbacks with 6-4, 7-6 and 6-2 defeats.

Chicago stopped the rot briefly at home with a 14-1 blowout of Pittsburgh, only to lose the next two meetings 13-7 and 8-6.

The Cubs steadied the ship with 6-0, 6-3 and 4-3 home wins against Colorado, only to then suffer 7-6, 6-5 and 5-3 defeats in Atlanta.

Milwaukee Brewers Form

Milwaukee’s form has cooled off over the couple of weeks, with six wins and five defeats coming in their last 11 games.

The Brewers’ dip has come with a playoff place already secured, but they will be keen to go into the postseason on a good run.

Their dupe started at home as they lost 2-1 to Washington, and that loss was followed by a 1-0 defeat in St Louis.

Milwaukee rebounded with 7-3, 8-2 and 6-0 wins over the Cardinals, and they then travelled to Miami to beat the Marlins 16-1.

The Brewers lost the next two meetings though, 5-4 and 6-1, and then sandwiched a 4-1 home defeat to St Louis with 3-2 and 3-0 wins.

Verdict

Milwaukee are the better team and have been strong in division play recently, so we like the Brewers in this one.
