Chicago at Milwaukee

The Cubs are a big dog here based on their overall season numbers, but it’s not justified as this team has found some offense in the second half of the season. And they will hit in a small, homer-friendly park like Milwaukee. They faced a Brewers’ ace yesterday in Gallardo and got 10 hits, two walks and 4 runs in a 6-4 loss as Milwaukee had to use its best bullpen arms. Chicago starter Casey Coleman has struggled badly at home, but has been far better away and the Cubs are 7-3 in their last 10 road games vs. a right-handed starter. They face Zach Greinke, who has a 4.50 ERA against the Cubs this season, allowing 16 base runners in 12 innings. Milwaukee now as a double digit lead in the division, so there is no urgency with this club. And in a park like this and Chicago holding a nice bullpen edge, the visitors have outstanding value. Play the Cubs.
