Milwaukee at Chicago

The Chicago Cubs appear to be suffering from a hangover after ending over a century long Championship drought. They have opened the season at a pedestrian 6-7, and have now suffered four straight losses after dropping the opener in this series to Milwaukee 6-3. The once dominant Cubs pitching has allowed six runs per game in the four-game losing streak, and the bullpen has been taxed. Meanwhile, after a slow start Milwaukee has won six of their last seven games, and are riding confidence and momentum. Milwaukee has gotten some great pitching, allowing under three runs per game in those last seven. The Cubs will ultimately become the team everyone expect them to be, but for now they are a play-against. Take Milwaukee in this one.
