Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs 3/30/2023 Picks Predictions

Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs 3/30/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

When Milwaukee and Chicago take the field on Thursday afternoon, there will be no time for a gentle start to the season as the National League Central foes face off on Opening Day.

The Brewers, who missed out on postseason action for the first time since 2017 after struggling toward the end of last year’s regular season, will be hoping to hit the ground running.

Meanwhile, the Cubs, who exceeded expectations with a 74-88 record, will look to build on the momentum from last season’s surprising performance.

Milwaukee’s desperation to turn things around is palpable. The team was leading the NL Central by three games when they traded away star closer Josh Hader on August 1st, which triggered a downward spiral.

The Brewers ended the season with a disappointing 86-76 record and missed out on a spot in the playoffs. With opponents hitting just .229, the third-lowest in the majors, Milwaukee’s pitching was solid throughout the season.

However, they will need more from former All-Star Christian Yelich, who has struggled with a .243 average over the past three seasons, if they hope to boost their offense.

The total stayed UNDER in 8 of the Milwaukee Bucks’ last 10 games.
The total remained UNDER in 4 of Milwaukee’s last 5 games on the road.
The Bucks are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games on the road against Chi Cubs.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs Predictions 3/30/2023

The Chicago Cubs have had to replace their star catcher, Willson Contreras, who was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals.

However, they have a strong supporting cast in the form of All-Star outfielder Ian Happ, who had career highs in RBI, doubles, and batting average, while also winning his first Gold Glove defensively.

Second baseman Nico Hoerner also played a significant role in the lineup, hitting 10 home runs and driving in 55 runs.

The Cubs made a big splash in the offseason by signing Atlanta shortstop Dansby Swanson to a seven-year, $177 million contract.

Swanson brings a Gold Glove presence to the defense, and his potential at the plate could make a significant difference for the Cubs.

Additionally, the Cubs added Cody Bellinger, the 2019 NL MVP, who has struggled with a .203 average over the past three seasons with the Dodgers.

The Chicago Cubs are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games at home.
The Cubs are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at home against Milwaukee.
The total went OVER in 5 of Chi Cubs’ last 6 games played in March.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs. The MLB pick for this game is the Milwaukee Brewers.

In their final 15 games of last season, the Cubs won an impressive 12, including a six-game winning streak at their home field, Wrigley Field.

Meanwhile, the Brewers were heading in the opposite direction, losing their NL Central lead.

There is also potential for a letdown from Brewers pitcher Corbin Burnes, given the strained relationship between him and the organization. Prediction: is that the Cubs will cover the spread (+1.5) to a score of 5-3.
