Our Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

Fearless Forecast: Defense prevails in Game 1 between Cubs and Brewers

Get me the Under at 8.5 runs. I know the Cubs own the best offense in baseball, but scoring tends to be slightly low whenever they play against the Brewers. The Cubs and the Brewers combined for 3.0 runs per game in their last three meetings. Friday’s starters, Ben Brown (5.56 ERA) of the Cubs and Quinn Priester (3.38 ERA) of the Brewers, allowed a combined 11 runs in their last outing on the bump. Then again, I expect these two strong pitchers to bounce back with impressive numbers against each other. The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Chicago Cubs' last 6 games against an opponent in the National League Central Division. It has also gone UNDER in 4 of Milwaukee's last 6 games against Chicago Cubs. Our betting prediction for the Chicago Cubs vs. the Milwaukee Brewers: Under 8.5 Runs.
