Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs Prediction

Justin Steele has been solid this season, but the Cubs haven’t provided him much help in a lot of his Games. The Cubs overall have been free-falling over the last couple of weeks, and it’s hard to get behind them with confidence. The Milwaukee Brewers are on fire this week and Tobias Myers has been ridiculous this month, allowing 2 runs in his last 25.1 innings. You could argue the Brewers should be much bigger favorites at home. Give me the Brewers to win Game 2 against the Cubs, improving their win total to six Games.
