Brewers face Cubs in series finale with focus on game total
The Milwaukee Brewers meet the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night at Wrigley Field in the final game of their three-game series. The Brewers enter the contest with a 28-18 record and continue to perform above expectations despite trading away established talent. The Cubs, meanwhile, have lost four consecutive games and dropped out of first place in the National League Central.
Pitcher Kyle Harrison starts for Milwaukee while Edward Cabrera takes the mound for the Cubs. Harrison is 4-1 with a 2.09 ERA this season and has not allowed more than two earned runs in any start. Cabrera holds a 3-1 record with a 4.06 ERA and has posted a 3.60 ERA in home starts at Wrigley Field.
The Cubs have struggled since their strong April stretch, going 2-8 in their last ten games. They were outscored 14-5 in the first two games of this series. Brewers hitters have hit .244 against Cabrera, while Cubs batters are hitless in six at-bats against Harrison.
Betting markets have posted the lowest total of the day for this matchup. The game is expected to feature scoring above that line, with both offenses likely to produce runs against the opposing starters.
