Bet Tonight’s Brewers vs. Cubs Game
OUR PICK: The Brewers have won four of their last five games in Chicago and have won seven of their last 10 games versus the Cubs overall. They’re also 15-7 in Nelson’s last 22 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance while the Cubs are just 1-4 in their last five games versus a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. With Nelson pitching well, might as well keep fading a struggling Cubs team.
