MLB - 957 Milwaukee Brewers @ 958 Chicago Cubs
(Starting Pitchers: Y. Gallardo vs T. Wood)
Even though both teams are out of playoff contention, it's clear that while Milwaukee is still playing hard and with their best lineup available, the Cubs are now trying to evaluate young players and therefore, struggling to have any kind of consistent hitting throughout their games. Therefore, I expect an easy outing for Gallardo tonight, who is on a roll right now with a 5-0 record and 2.02 ERA on his last five starts. With Gallardo in such good form and the Cubs' youngsters struggling, I believe this should be an easy night for Milwaukee's SP.
On the other hand, Wood is struggling and he is 0-7 on his last eight starts. He is coming from an outing in Milwaukee, where he allowed three runs on six hits in seven innings. He hung in there very well, however this was an early game and the Brewers' offense wasn't red hot like they are right now. With today's game being played at night, I expect Wood to be pounded by a team who is #1 on NL with .780 OPS and who will ready to pound him big time tonight.
With a clear SP edge and a massive edge in terms of hitting, I believe the Brewers will continue their recent good run of results lately, with an easy win tonight. Therefore, I'll be taking Milwaukee in here.
