Jake Arrieta is 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA this season but he pitched both his games against the Pirates. Corbin Burnes became the first pitcher in history to throw six plus innings of no walks and one hit. He has allowed 15 runs in his last 15 starts. Christian Yelich is day-to-day with a back injury which is worrisome, but the Cubs bullpen is very hurt right now. Take the Brewers at home.
Two very good starting pitchers in the Cubs' Jake Arrieta (2-0, 2.25) and the Brewers' Corbin Burnes (0-1, 0.73). Both are capable of shutouts, and Milwaukee never seems to score much when Burnes is on the mound. The Brewers also are without two starting outfielders in former NL MVP Christian Yelich (day-to-day) and Lorenzo Cain (landed on IL). The Cubs, meanwhile, aren't hitting at all ... yet managed to burn me Tuesday night in Milwaukee thanks to a late Willson Contreras homer. Chicago is giving both Contreras and Kris Bryant this one off. Thus, we like the Under.
