Chicago bounced back after dropping the first game to the White Sox and wrapped up the series with two straight wins. The Cubs’ offense has been consistent all season and their ability to produce in key moments gives them an edge. Boyd has been one of the better stories on the mound this year, already surpassing his career-best win total. With a solid bullpen and clutch bats like Pete Crow-Armstrong and Nico Hoerner, Chicago is a dangerous team on the road.
Betting on the Milwaukee Brewers
- 1XBet Spread: +1.5
- 1XBet Moneyline: 1.982
- 1XBet Over/Under: Over 7.5
The Brewers managed to avoid a sweep at the hands of Miami with a thrilling walk-off win on Sunday. Their offense has been timely but inconsistent, and while Misiorowski has shown promise, he’s approaching his innings limit with 92.2 IP combined across levels this year. That could mean a shorter leash in this outing. Milwaukee has home-field advantage, but they’ll need better production with runners in scoring position (just 2-for-9 last game).
MatchPlug Prediction for Cubs vs Brewers
Both teams are talented and hungry to take sole possession of first place. While Milwaukee has the energy from their dramatic win, the Cubs have more balance and a proven arm in Boyd, who’s been excellent this year. With Chicago’s offense firing and the Brewers dealing with a possible innings cap for Misiorowski, the edge goes to the visitors.
Final Prediction: Cubs Over/Under
