Milwaukee Aims to Increase Division Lead
Cubs vs Brewers Pick Analysis
The Chicago Cubs can make the trip to Milwaukee for this weekend’s three-game series breathing a little easier. Chicago ended a four-game losing streak with an extra-inning win over San Francisco on Thursday. The Brewers bring a four-game winning streak and a 25-12 home record into the series. The Cubs vs Brewers betting picks should see Milwaukee being favored in all three games.
The pitching mlb matchups for the series are Jameson Taillon and Colin Rea on Friday; Justin Steele and Tobias Myers on Saturday; with Kyle Hendricks and Freddy Peralta starting the series finale. There really isn’t a single game you can look at and say the Cubs offer good value.
Rea and the Brewers are -130 over the Cubs and Taillon on Friday, with the total at 8.5-under (-115). The Chicago Cubs betting odds on the game seem a bit on the low side, considering Milwaukee’s 25-12 record at home this season.
Saturday’s game will be a day contest and Myers will be a mid-sized favorite and the total will be close to 8.5 once again. Despite pitching well, Steele has seen the Cubs lose all six of his road starts this season. Chicago is 0-3 as an underdog with Steele on the mound this season and just 2-9 when he starts.
Myers has had a couple of rough home starts this season, so his numbers there aren’t as good as they are on the road. Milwaukee is still 3-1 when Myers starts at home, however, and has scored 29 runs in his four home starts. The Brewers will be used for one of the best MLB bets today.
On Sunday, the Cubs vs Brewers betting picks lean to the over in the matchup between Hendricks and Peralta.

Cubs vs Brewers Betting Analysis
While the Cubs vs Brewers betting picks consists of all three games in the series, Saturday’s game earned the ‘best bet’ designation. That is the game that will be looked at in more detail. Every season, there are a couple of pitchers who simply don’t catch any breaks. Steele is on his way to becoming one of those pitchers this season. He’s had six starts where he’s allowed two earned runs or less, and the Cubs are 1-5 in those games.
Myers has allowed just two earned runs in his four starts this month and Milwaukee has won his last five outings. He has gradually stretched out the number of innings he’s pitching, but has one of the best bullpens in MLB if he runs out of gas during the game. Milwaukee has the better offense, the better bullpen and a starter pitching as well, if not better. The Brewers have too many things going for them in this game.
