Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs Prediction

The Chicago Cubs are a tough sell given their current form, but it’s hard to step in front of Shota Imanaga, the betting favorite to win NL ROY and is a legit contender for the NL CY Young. Imanaga has pitched 53.2 innings and still has an ERA under 1 and a WHIP of 0.91. While Bryse Wilson has been great in his own right, he hasn’t been on the level of Imanaga. The Cubs have allowed 3 or fewer runs in all 9 of Imanaga’s starts this season. Yeah… I’m not stepping in front of that, folks. Give me the Cubs in Game 3 against the Brewers on Wednesday night.
