Milwaukee Brewers Form

Milwaukee head to the ‘Windy City’ on the back of a good series against St Louis and having won eight of their 14 games since the start of the month.

The Brewers began June with a 5-2 victory in Philadelphia, before sandwiching a 4-2 defeat in Cincinnati with 3-2 and 9-1 wins over the Reds.

Their form cooled off when they returned home though, as the lost two of their three meetings with both San Diego, losing 2-0 and 1-0 either side of a 4-3 win.

Milwaukee lost two of their next home series too, as they sandwiched a 4-1 victory over Atlanta with 7-1 and 6-2 losses to the Braves.

The Brewers fared better against St Louis however, as they beat the Cardinals 6-0 and 3-2, and then rebounded from an 8-5 loss with a 3-2 victory.

Chicago Cubs Form

Chicago enter this series looking to build on a good series against Pittsburgh, having been in underwhelming form for much of June.

They began the month with a 7-3 win at home to Cincinnati, and then won two of their three games in Washington as they sandwiched a 2-0 defeat with 8-3 and 7-1 wins.

They then moved on to Detroit where they dropped two of the three games against the Tigers, losing 4-0 and 3-1 either side of a 6-1 victory.

Chicago experienced the same sequence in Philadelphia too, as they rounded out that road trip by sandwiching an 8-4 win over the Phillies with 4-3 and 7-2 defeats.

The Cubs did come out on top in their homecoming series with Pittsburgh, winning 3-2 before responding to a 2-1 loss with 2-1 and 3-2 victories.

Verdict

MIL Brewers @ CHI Cubs

Milwaukee have been in good form on the road recently, and they are now coming up against a struggling pitcher.

We expect them to take full advantage of that and take the opening game of this series.
