Play: Money Line: 102 Milwaukee Brewers
In the first game of this series, the Chicago Cubs take on the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. In the latest game for the Chicago Cubs, they ended up with a win facing the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-3. Milwaukee is just 4-6 in their last 10 games. The Milwaukee Brewers will be wheeling out right-hander Quinn Priester in this one. Quinn Priester has a 6 ERA when facing the Cubs. Priester has been good this year but I'm not confident it lasts. Coming out on Friday for the Chicago Cubs is right-hander starting pitcher Ben Brown. He is 2-2 with a 6.04 ERA. He is 0-0 with a 0 ERA and 10 strikeouts in his only appearance facing the Milwaukee Brewers. Jackson Chourio, William Contreras, Joey Ortiz, Sal Frelick, Brice Turang have combined to go 0 for 12 when taking on Ben Brown. Brown only throwing two pitches is not great and his control has been lacking. We saw him make it work last year. He's coming off of a terrible start against the Phillies. I think we get some positive regression in this game. The Chicago Cubs have been great when playing on the road with a 10-6 record. This is a Central division rivalry and I expect a close game with Brown being better on the mound. Game Time: 8:10 PM ET
