Josh Hader surely isn't available for the Brewers tonight, but the Cubs used their two best relievers on Monday as well in blowing a late lead and losing in 10. Chicago is resting two of its best hitters in rookie Christopher Morel and catcher/DH Willson Contreras. Kyle Hendricks has a 6.14 ERA in 14.2 innings this year vs. Milwaukee and he rarely pitches well in Beer Town. A few Brewers regulars who didn't start Monday are here, and George Constanza (Jason Alexander) has been generally competent on the mound.
My model says the Brewers win in almost 70 percent of the simulations, so you're getting strong value with them at this number. Milwaukee has won three of four at home against Chicago this season, outscoring the Cubs 25-6 in those four contests. The Brewers have won seven of nine overall, while Chicago has dropped two straight following a season high-tying four-game winning streak. Expect the skid to continue.
