The Cubs will try to make up for their 4.17 ERA by leaning on Matthew Boyd, who’s riding an 8‑3 record with a tidy 4.05 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. Gasser, the Brewers’ 4‑5 pitcher, comes in with a 4.57 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP—enough to give the Cubs a rougher than they’d like to admit. If Boyd can keep his pitches in the zone, the Cubs might finally stop the Brewers from running the ball home on their own turf.
With Shelby Miller on a 60‑day IL and Ian Happ day‑to‑day, Chicago’s lineup feels a little lean, and Milwaukee’s .256 average and 3.51 ERA give them the edge. If you think the Cubs can pull a miracle, make your pick or join the debate on StreakChat.
