I like the Milwaukee Brewers on the runline against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. The Brewers have been rolling lately on a 3 game win streak, all 3 wins coming against these Cubs. The Brewers -1.5 has cashed in all 3 of those games. Milwaukee is 12-3 against the Cubs this year and the -1.5 has cashed 10 of those games. Brandon Woodruff (7-6, 2.23 ERA) is starting for the Brewers and he has had a pretty good season. The team has lost the last 3 games that Woodruff has started in but he did not get blown out himself, allowing no more than 3 earned runs in any of those. The Cubs have been terrible lately with just 1 win in 10 games. They have lost 7 straight in a row, all but 1 of those losses were by 2+ runs. The Cubs will be starting Kyle Hendricks (13-4, 3.68 ERA) and he has had a good year. He has been awarded with 11 straight wins but, I think that will end here. He has allowed 8 earned runs in his last 3 starts, and now he faces a Brewers lineup 30 runs in their last 5. These 2 teams are headed in opposite directions, the Brewers have been pounding the ball lately while the Cubs have been getting decimated. The Brewers have already cleared the runline in all games of this series and I expect that to continue here. Brewers win -1.5.

T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Brewers.
