Prediction published on 6/27/26, 4:07 PM  by Lou Aguila in MLB Picks

The Milwaukee Brewers, who have won by at least two runs in their last five meetings with the Chicago Cubs, eye another comfortable win in Game 2 of their series on Saturday.

Current Form:

The Milwaukee Brewers extended their winning streak to five games after taking a 6-2 win over the Chicago Cubs in Game 2. Jacob Misiorowski surrendered one run over six innings to guide the Brewers to a comfortable win over their division rivals. Over the last five games, the Brewers have lowered their ERA to 2.15 while allowing their opponents to hit .163 at the plate.

The result in Game 1 snapped the Cubs’ four-game winning streak. Once again, Chicago’s bullpen cost them a win. Starter Colin Rea allowed one earned run over five innings, but relief pitchers Ethan Roberts and Jayden

Murray surrendered five earned runs over the final four innings of the match. The Cubs' bullpen has posted a 5.85 ERA over the last five games, leaving them susceptible to comebacks and offensive surges late in a match.

Starting Pitchers:

Cubs LHP David Peterson (3-6, 6.09 ERA) has given up 10 earned runs over his last two starts. He has also posted an 8.74 ERA over his last five mound appearances.

Brewers LHP Kyle Harrison (8-1, 2.50 ERA) has gone 4-1 with a 3.76 ERA over his last five starts. In his last outing against Atlanta, Harrison surrendered two earned runs over 6.1 innings in a 3-4 loss.

The Matchup: The Brewers have won their last five meetings against the Cubs and 8 of their last 10 faceoffs. Milwaukee has also won by two runs or more in each of these victories.
