Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

I wouldn’t talk you off the ledge if looking at the Milwaukee Brewers in a pick em spot, given they’re the better team over the Cubs. However, the Cubs are at home and Jameson Taillon has been sharper than Colin Rea, especially with the home / away splits. Rea has had issues on the road this season, which includes allowing a .266 batting average. This feels like a spot the Cubs can get their offense going for the first time this week. I like the Cubs to win Game 2 at home against the Brewers.
