Analysis

The Brewers are coming into this game with a 20-11 record this season and they have been playing well in their recent games as they have won their last 3 straight, but they are going up against a Cubs team that is 19-14 this season and only 2 games behind the Brewers in 1st place for the division. The Cubs have lost their last 2 straight games but 1 of those was a close 7-6 loss in extra innings to the Mets while the other was also a closer game, coming off of a 3-1 loss to the Brewers in the 1st game of this series. The Cubs are going to be hungry to bounce back in this game at home against their division rival who they are chasing in the standings and they have the better pitching matchup to help them get the win here. Tobias Myers is starting for the Brewers here and he is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA this season, but he is also in his rookie season in the MLB, having only made 2 MLB starts in his career. He only allowed 1 earned run in his 1st start but he unraveled a bit in his last start, allowing 4 earned runs in 5 innings against the Yankees. The Cubs have had a very good offense this season and they are going to find ways to score runs on this rookie in this game. Jameson Taillon is starting for the Cubs in this game and he is 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA this season. He has been a very reliable starter for them this season as he has pitched at least 5 innings in each of his 3 starts and he has not allowed more than 1 earned run in each of those starts. Taillon is going to give the Cubs a great chance to bounce back at home in this game and they have the offense to make this a very long day for this rookie starter on the other side. The Cubs will win this game at home.
