MLB: Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs odds, picks, and predictions

At Miller Park on Sunday, the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers will face off in Major League Baseball action. After losing five of their past six games, the Chicago Cubs are in desperate need of a win. The Milwaukee Brewers are looking to extend their winning streak to five games. In their last three games, the Chicago Cubs have scored three runs or fewer, and in five of their last six games, they have scored three runs or fewer. When scoring three or fewer runs, the Cubs have dropped nine straight games. With 20 hits and 11 RBI, Ian Happ leads the Cubs, while Seiya Suzuki and Nico Hoerner have combined for 37 hits and 22 RBI. Marcus Stroman will take the mound, and he is 0-3 with a 6.98 ERA and 17 strikeouts on the year. In his career versus the Brewers, Stroman is 1-1 with a 3.20 ERA and 12 strikeouts.

In their last three games, the Milwaukee Brewers have scored 23 runs, and in four of their last eight games, they have scored four or more runs. When scoring four or more runs, the Brewers have won 12 straight games. Willy Adames has 19 hits and 14 RBIs to pace the Brewers, while Andrew McCutchen and Hunter Renfroe have combined for 38 hits and 20 RBIs. Corbin Burnes takes the mound, and he's 1-0 this season with a 1.75 ERA and 33 strikeouts. Burnes has a 2-1 record versus the Cubs in his career, with a 3.77 ERA and 65 strikeouts.

The Cubs have lost four of their past five games in game three of a series and are 2-8 in their last ten games overall. The Brewers have won five of their past six games at home and four of their last four overall. In the Cubs' last 17 games, the over is 13-4. Overall, the under is 7-2-2 in the Brewers' previous 11 games. At the last 28 meetings in Milwaukee, the Cubs are 8-20, and in the last 29 encounters, they are 8-21.

The Chicago Cubs haven't been able to put together a consistent offense, and now they're facing Burnes. Corbin Burnes has given up two runs in his last 20.2 innings and has a season batting average of.151. The Cubs will almost certainly struggle offensively once again. In this situation, I have to move toward the bottom.
