Chicago at Milwaukee

Red-hot Chicago is on a 10-2 run, ranked sixth in runs scored, #11 in slugging, and is No. 1 in on-base percentage. Veteran lefty Cole Hamels has been sensational since joining the Cubs, with the team 6-0. In six starts for his new ball club, Hamels has a 0.69 ERA, a 1.00 WHIP and 38 strikeouts in 39 innings. The Cubs are 39-15 against a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. They face a Milwaukee offense that is #15 in runs scored, #14 in on-base percentage, and #22 in slugging. Milwaukee is home from a six-game trip and stuck with starter Zach Davies (5.23 ERA). He has had a rough season, allowing 62 baserunners in 43 innings. This is a tough park to pitch in and Davies has a 5.33 ERA at home in 2018 after having a 5.82 ERA at home last season where batters hit .313 off him. The Brewers are 2-9 when Davies starts at home against winning teams, and Chicago has won eight of the last 11 meetings. Play Chicago.
