Why The Cubs Could Cover The Spread

Hendricks has been good since coming off the IL in May. He has a 2.81 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and has allowed just 31 hits in 41 2/3 innings pitched this season. He has always been pretty good for the Cubs and this year seems to be no different. The Cubs need Hendricks to have a good start in this one. If he can give them six or seven strong innings, Chicago will cover this spread, but Hendricks has to go deep into this game.

The good news is Hendricks is much better on the road this season. He has made three road starts and has a 1.77 ERA in those starts. On the road, opponents are batting just .114 off him. Those road starts came against the San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants and Pittsburgh Pirates. Those are all teams who were once hot, or are capable of getting hot. The Brewers top three hitters were great in game one, but the rest of the team was bad. That just shows why they have the second worst batting average in the MLB. Hendricks should have no problem shutting them down in this game.

Why The Brewers Could Cover The Spread

Wade Miley has been good for the Brewers. He is 5-2 with a 3.02 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. Miley has made three starts since coming off the IL and he has been great. In 15 innings pitched, he has allowed just eight hits and walked only five. In those innings, Miley has a 1.20 ERA. The Brewers have won all three starts by at least three runs. Miley needs to keep it up, but with him on the mound, the Brewers are very confident.

Milwaukee is is struggling to hit this season as a whole, but in the last seven games, they are doing just fine. In those games, the Brewers are batting .257 with 22 extra base hits and 42 runs scored. They are scoring a lot of runs and seem to have figured something out at the plate. If they can keep hitting like this, they will cover the spread and keep winning games.

Final Cubs-Brewers Prediction & Pick

This is going to be a close game. The pitching matchup is a sneaky good one, and there may not be as many runs scored. However, with the way the Cubs are playing right now, it is very hard to bet on them. Even though Hendricks is pitching and the Cubs are the underdogs, I am still going to rock with the Brewers. I expect Milwaukee to cover the spread.

Final Cubs-Brewers Prediction & Pick: Brewers -1.5 (+158), Under 9 (-108)
