The Brewers vs. Cubs rivalry has solidified into the hottest rivalry in the NL Central in recent years. On Thursday at Wrigley Field, they're set to close out a four-game series packed with hitting, home runs, and runs. In the final game of the series, Henderson will pitch for Milwaukee and Gausman for Chicago.

The Cubs' offense had another of its wild hitting stretches in late August and early September. On August 29, in a three-homer game by Pete Crowe Armstrong that could very well earn him the MVP award, the Cubs scored 17 runs against the Reds. Just two days later, they scored 17 runs against the Brewers in the first game of this series, a game in which Alex Bregman hit three home runs.

In Game 2, the Brewers' dynamic offense demonstrated why they boast the best record in MLB. They combined for 13 hits to score nine runs past the fourth inning, in a game where Yelich and Ortiz both homered.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

The games in this series have resulted in Game Totals of the Over with astonishing ease. In Game 3, the sportsbooks had set the total game at 8.5 runs, and by the fourth inning, there were already 11 runs on the scoreboard.

It has been a series dominated by hitting, and it could very well continue to be so; the last time Gausman faced the Brewers was in April, and the game ended with a final score of 7-9.

Our prediction for Cubs vs Brewers is: Over 8 runs.

Prediction:

 

Over 8 runs.
