The Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs are scheduled to play a doubleheader today in the Windy City, with the second game set to get underway at 8:05 p.m. EST at Wrigley Field. Game One was scheduled for 2:20 p.m. EST.
Milwaukee currently has a nine-game lead on the Cubs in the NL Central. It’s a tough deficit for Chicago to overcome, but with 35+ games left to play, including two more against the Brewers, it’s not impossible if Milwaukee goes into a tailspin for a long enough stretch and the Cubbies can go on a run. But if they don’t, that’s okay. Chicago has a comfortable lead in the wild-card chase. Brandon Woodruff is set to start for the Brewers. He is 4-0 in seven starts this season with a 2.06 ERA. .74 WHIP, and .152 OBA. Woodruff has been at his best on the road, where he is 3-0 in three starts with a 1.50 ERA and .085 OBA. Jameson Taillon is expected to come off the IL to start the game for the Cubs. Taillon has gone 7-6 in 17 starts with a 4.44 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and .236 OBA. He’s had his best stuff at home, where he’s gone 3-2 in eight starts with a .208 OBA.

Our Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs Prediction
Overall, both clubs have good teams. However, while that is true, one is clearly better than the other. Milwaukee has been the hottest team in baseball since the All-Star break. The Cubs are not going to slow them down by putting a pitcher on the mound who gave up a pair of home runs and five runs the last time he faced the Brewers. Woodruff will take care of business as the lineup makes sure Milwaukee wins comfortably.
