Corbin Burnes is taking the mound for the Brewers, showcasing his skills on the road. Meanwhile, the Cubs will have Justin Steele leading from their home turf at Wrigley Field. Interestingly, the Cubs are the favorites for this match, with odds standing at -136. Furthermore, the game has an unusually low total set at 6.5.

Currently, the Brewers are one of the teams to watch, proving themselves as one of the hottest contenders in baseball. Can they keep up the momentum against the Cubs? With a roaring nine-game winning streak and an average of over seven runs per game during this streak, they have showcased their strength. Just the previous night, they racked up a significant six runs.

And now, with Burnes – their ace – ready to pitch, the Brewers seem to have the upper hand. But it’s essential not to discount the Cubs, who have their own ace in Steele. A low total is expected for this game, with two top-notch pitchers on the field. However, considering the Brewers’ recent scoring spree, it does raise eyebrows.

For anyone following the numbers, the average scoring rate of the Brewers during their winning streak contradicts the predicted total for this game. Despite the prowess of both pitchers, the odds seem enticing for those willing to bet on an ‘over’ for the total runs.

While the pitchers will undoubtedly try to dominate in this heated matchup, the bats from both sides might steal the show. For those looking to make a wager, it might be worth considering going against the grain and betting on a score that exceeds the projected total at Wrigley.
