Milwaukee at Chicago

Milwaukee's great pitching staff has allowed just three total runs through two games. They throw another strong arm to the mound in Eric Lauer, who was 2-0 with a 3.27 ERA in 22 innings against the Cubs last season striking out 30. The Brewers are 26-13 on the road after allowing one run or fewer in a win over a divisional rival. Chicago had a losing record at Wrigley Field last season and is rebuilding. The offense was 22nd in runs scored and 19th in slugging, while the pitching staff was 20th in ERA allowing the sixth-most walks. Starter Jameson Taillon comes over from the Yankees, where he had a 7.20 ERA against the Brewers. And the Cubs are 13-28 at home after a loss. Play Milwaukee.
