As he prepares for his 19th start, Brandon Woodruff, who is 9-3 with a 3.53 ERA and 117:29 K:BB ratio over 97 innings, hopes to continue his good season.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs Predictions 8/21/2022

On Saturday, they kept torturing Milwaukee with a wild victory.

Chicago didn’t score again after Willson Contreras’ two-run homer in the fifth inning; instead, Nick Madrigal’s RBI single in the bottom of the ninth tied the game, Franmil Reyes’ clutch sac fly in the top of the tenth, and Contreras’ walk-off single in the bottom of the eleventh gave Chicago the victory.

The Cubs went 62-57 on the run line while still being well down on the money line. Only two of the Cubs’ previous eight games went under the betting total, giving them a 52-59-8 record in favor of the over.

As he prepares for his 23rd appearance of the year, Justin Steele, who is 4-7 with a 3.43 ERA and 111 strikeouts over 107.2 innings, will want to build on a breakout year.

On Tuesday, the 26-year-old pitched against the Washington Nationals for 6 innings, giving up one run on 5 hits, 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts.

The total went OVER in 5 of the Chi Cubs’ last 7 matches.
The Cubs are 5-0 SU in their previous 5 matches.
The total went OVER in 13 of the Chi Cubs’ last 19 games against Milwaukee.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs. The MLB pick for this game is the Milwaukee Brewer. Despite the Brewers’ struggles in this meeting, Woodruff is the ideal candidate to turn things around.

While Woodruff will continue his terrific season with another outstanding performance tonight, Steele is having a fantastic season but the Cubs aren’t strong enough in other areas.

Advanced data show that Woodruff, who has a fantastic 21.4 K-BB% and an 80 FIP, should do even better down the stretch.

The Cubs’ offense showed some promise at times, but overall it is below average with a wRC+ of 99 and insufficient lineup depth to support rallies.

Despite Steele’s effectiveness, the Cubs bullpen, which has the 13th worst ERA in MLB and will be thin after yesterday’s lengthy game, won’t be able to hold.

The Brewers will rebound in this game since the Cubs won’t be able to score, so back Woodruff and the team. The Milwaukee Brewers will win to a predicted score of 6-3.
