Cubs vs Brewers
North Siders seek another bite out of Brew Crew momentum

Cubs (20-13) VS Brewers (16-17)
05/04/2025 | 2:10 PM ET | American Family Field, Milwaukee

The Cubs roll into Milwaukee on a three-game winning streak, bolstered by the return of key rotation depth, while the Brewers remain shorthanded both in the bullpen and in the outfield. Chicago sends out a starter who’s consistently handled Milwaukee in recent meetings, whereas the Brewers counter with an arm who has struggled to contain this lineup over the last two seasons. Milwaukee’s offense has cooled off lately, managing just six runs across its last three games, and their key bats haven’t found much success in this matchup historically.
From a betting angle, the Cubs look like the better-equipped squad right now, especially with how their bullpen is performing and the Brewers’ continued lack of pop at home. The juice isn’t exactly thrilling, but if you're looking for a consistent edge without needing a ton of risk, this is a solid B-level play—dependable, even if not dripping with upside.

Chicago enters on a three-game win streak largely fueled by strong starting pitching, and their ace is back on the mound looking to continue that trend. Milwaukee, meanwhile, has dropped three n a row and is still missing a couple of key contributors on both sides of the ball. Both teams bring rested bullpens into this one after an off-day, and neither offense has shown much recent pop, with below-average power metrics and a ballpark that’s leaned pitcher-friendly so far this season.
This feels like a solid under spot—two quality starters, minimal lineup firepower, and clean relief options ready if needed. It’s not a slam dunk, especially if either pen slips late, but the number is high enough and the payout steady enough to back the Under with a confident B+ grade. Play it for value and trust the arms to set the tone.

Milwaukee enters this divisional clash on a three-game skid but gets a boost from having their bullpen fully recharged, while Chicago comes in after winning three straight but are still missing key pieces in the rotation and lineup. With some complications in the rotation, the Cubs face a tough task against a familiar arm who’s consistently delivered strong outings against them. Chicago’s offense has struggled recently, and their bullpen has shown some vulnerability away from home—adding pressure on a lineup that hasn’t been producing.
Honestly, grabbing the extra 1.5 runs with Milwaukee makes a lot of sense here. It’s a classic rivalry setup where runs could be scarce, but the edge in health, recent form, and bullpen stability tilts this one in the Brewers’ favor. It’s a sharp way to back the hotter team without needing them to win outright.
