The Brewers are coming into this game playing very well recently as they have won their last 9 straight games and they have also been involved in a lot of high scoring games in that span. They have seen 8 runs or more total in each of their last 7 straight games and their offense has also been very good in those as they have scored at least 5 runs themselves in each of their last 9 games. They are going up against a Cubs team that has also been playing well recently as they have won 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 6 games and they are going to be very motivated to win this home series still since they are only 5 games behind the Brewers for the lead of the NL Central. Their offense has also been very strong recently as they have scored at least 10 runs in 2 of their last 3 as well as scoring at least 5 runs in 6 of their last 8 games. Corbin Burnes is starting for the Brewers here and he is 9-6 with a 3.65 ERA this season. He has not been pitching great in his recent starts as he has allowed at least 5 earned runs in 2 of his last 3 starts. He also struggled in his 1 start against the Cubs this season as he allowed 4 earned runs in 5 innings pitched and that game was also in Chicago like this one. Justin Steele is starting for the Cubs here and he is 14-3 with a 2.80 ERA this season. As well as he has been pitching all season, he has started to unravel a bit recently as he has allowed at least 2 runs in each of his last 5 starts and has also allowed at least 3 runs in 4 of those 5 starts. The Brewers have also been very hot with their offense recently as they are scoring a lot of runs and they will surely take advantage of the way Steele has been pitching recently. The Cubs already lost this series opener though and they will be hungry to bounce back here as their offense has also been hot so they will have no trouble scoring runs with Burnes struggling in his recent starts. Between these two teams, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
