Milwaukee at Chicago

The Chicago Cubs were humiliated here yesterday as the Brewers came into town and won 15-4. That still leaves the Brew Crew a disastrous 22-39 on the road, so to be a chunky favorite here is certainly not justified. The Cubs are certainly not pitching rich, but have only allowed a team to score 10+ on them nine times all season, and in the game following they own a winning record, so it has gotten their attention. The Cubs have a few areas where they have been good in this year and they all apply tonight. They are 8-2 at home vs. a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400, and are 12-4 at home vs. a losing team in their last 16. They have also done a great job at home to a low total of 7 to 8.5 where they are 16-7 in their last 23. Play on the Cubs.
