Prediction:

Chicago is in the driver's seat for a playoff spot, while the Brewers need every win they can get to climb back in. While the Cubs might have the slight starting pitching advantage here, the Brewers are at home and their bullpen is in good shape. I'm going to bet on Milwaukee to win here as small home dogs.
